* 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

2020-10-06T09:43:55+00:00 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, this is exactly what I was looking for.
I disabled this service by error while trying to spare resources and was definitively wrong.
This service is named "Service Orchestrator".
Thank you a lot.

2020-10-06T09:16:52+00:00 everytime when I put in this command in cmd it say access denied help please :
ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.bak
Hello Heino,
I'm Kshitij. I'm a Windows user from past 15 years. I help people resolving out with the technical issues.
I'll recommend you to make some minor changes in the command and it will work perfectly.
- Click the Start button and type cmd
- Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator
- Type the following commands one at a time. Press Enter after each command
net stop bits
net stop wuauserv
net stop msiserver
net stop cryptsvc
ren %systemroot%\softwaredistribution softwaredistribution.bak
ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.bak
net start bits
net start wuauserv
net start msiserver
net start cryptsvc
- Close the command prompt after running the command and restart the computer
Try this out. It'll work. All the best
