* Mod note on 16 October 2021.

A third-party tool to block all updates to Windows 10 is mentioned several times in this thread. Links to this tool have been removed because Microsoft policy is that one cannot post here any method of permanently stopping/blocking updates to Windows.

Everytime i enter windows update i cant see nothing in Windows Update tab, only "Something went wrong. Try to reopen settings later" .

3 days have went by of me trying to fix this, but nothing is working...

The troubleshoot shows nothing wrong...

Tried to reset the pc but i got an error (something went wrong)...

When i try to scan the disk it always gives me an error

Did sfc /scandisk in safe mode there was no problem

    My resolution was about that I found the Greatis Software Stop Windows 10 Updates already installed on my machine at C:\windows\update. I'm not sure how it got there - my guess is via some updates or some software bundling installer. So, I didn't need to install it as it was already there. Then I just started C:\Windows\UPDATE\StopUpdates10.exe as the administrator and enabled the windows updates. Unfortunately, I didn't find the uninstaller. If you don't find it there then it is not the same coincidence I had.

    Thanks for all the replies. I figured out you need to bring the OS to s certain build before applying the new feature set.  Lesson learned.
