* 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

    1. Type 'services' in type here to search box besides start menu. Run Services as Administrator.
    2. Double click on software protection and set it as automatic.
    3. Now double click windows update and set it as automatic. This step will not work if step 2 is ignored.
    4. stopupdates10 Guard should be disabled.

    Check again the windows update page. It will be blank for some time as it starts checking updates and it will show the update status.
