Hello,

Please run Windows Update troubleshooter from Settings app > Update & security > Troubleshoot. See if it works.

If that doesn't work, try this:

Open administrative Command Prompt and type following commands one-by-one followed by Enter key.

net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptSvc

net stop bits

net stop msiserver

Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old

net start wuauserv

net start cryptSvc

net start bits

net start msiserver

If issue still persists, we can install updates manually using this guide: https://www.kapilarya.com/manually-download-and-install-windows-updates-in-windows-10

If nothing helps, reset Windows Update components: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/windows-update-resources

Hope this helps!

    Ralph, double click on the ISO file you saved to mount it as a virtual drive. Then right click the Setup file to Run as Administrator, follow the prompts to do the in-place Upgrade of WIndows over itself.

    Greg,  I did have a little time so I ran the Media Creation Tool and downloaded the ISO and saved it in my PC (not a flash drive).  On Monday I will re-check  the steps involved in the link you sent me.  I took a quick look at it today but am not sure how to proceed.  I will study it some more and send you any questions I have.

    Thanks for hanging in there with me...............Ralph

    I actually did a media creation tool upgrade and that fixed the issues. Thanks!
