Doing a System Restore right now to see if that resolves my issue, but it’s been stalling on “Initializing” for about an hour now.

Hi Hitbit_3. In your post: " Does anyone know of a way to legally prevent Microsoft to forcing these malware like updates onto my system." I feel your pain! I'm in same boat. Come October 10, force feeding me the updates again! I've seen this temporary fix on these boards and in researching on line. It seems you can disable updates by: Turning off the Windows Update Service - (Not my instructions) but from these boards and on line search. This may only work temporarily as the system seems to re-enable the service after a period of time.* Windows Update is a just another Windows Service and can as such be turned off. Follow these steps to stop Windows 10 updates: Fire up the Run command (Win + R). Type in “ services.msc ” and hit Enter. Select the Windows Service Update service from the Services list. Click on the “ General ” tab and change the “ Startup Type ” to “ Disabled ”. Restart your machine. When you want to re-enable automatic updates you just follow the same procedure except you select “ Automatic ” when choosing the “ Startup Type ”. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------My note: *Who knows how long a "period of time is." I'd assume you'd need to check it every day to see if it was re-enabled. More time wasted. I initially did the above and changed it back to automatic. Anyone who has done this perhaps could shed more light on this to you. Good Luck.

Ran the Windows Update troubleshooter (the one accessed through Settings) and it came back with the following in Detection Details: WaaSMedicService Issues remediated by :EnableUUPScanPlugin Problem with BITS service: The requested service has already been started. Evidently the troubleshooter detected an issue, but after trying to install the update again I find it hasn't resolved it after all. To clarify, the update proceeds to 100% completion on my laptop, but then I get the error code I mentioned before.

Thank you Thorsson! I believe I understand what you're telling me. Since I have no previous clone/backup of my system anywhere... I assume it's useless to do it now as it will only save a fubar'd version of my system. I uninstalled the new update after the flickering screen of death and other problems, and I THOUGHT it was back to it's original state.... but not so! It worked great for a few hours after the uninstall, but seems remnants of the new update are in there somewhere and wreaking havoc once again. I'm waiting for locusts to start emerging from my machine! I wish you LUCK on your bravery by reinstalling W-10 tomorrow. Let us know how it goes! I'm tempted to do it myself, but TBH, I'm in no mood to go through what I did when I first got the update. Perhaps we could all roll back to MS-DOS and start from there! Have to keep a bit of a sense of humor or I'll go batsh*t crazy with all this. I looked at your link and for sure it says BACK UP before installing in more than once place. It says: "If you have personal data and files that you want to save, back them up to an external hard drive, USB thumb drive, SD card, or cloud location (such as OneDrive) before you begin to reinstall Windows 10." I lost faith in MS at this point, so I would not use their OneDrive. Another program where they will say 'oopsy' when your files disappear. How comforting. Appreciate your reply and insight. TY again!

Regarding this message, I find the following item: Windows10.0-KB4574727-x64.cab. Is this the file you're asking to delete?
