* 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

    Hi, yes the problem is the UsoSvc, this service is essential for Windows updates to work, open regedit and navigate to :-

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsoSvc

    In the right payne locate "start" and right click on it select modify in the value data box that opens change the 4 to 2, restart computer and try updates now. The default setting for this key is 2 which equates to automatic start 4 disables the service.

    YES IT SOLVED MY PROBLEM. Thanks.

    I have the same problem. The service Cryptographic Services and maybe others block the access.

    I'd use this third party tool to unblock windows updates and it worked
