Have tried 3 times. Message on update page says it did not install and I may try again. This is not a new install. Have been using for couple of years.

    Tried running the WUreset script but it fails saying it cannot find one of the programs in it's list of functions.

    Had to abort script using CtrlC 

    I can see it's a typical batch file with list of function/commands but simply stops as it cannot find needed program.

    because it hangs, it fails to complete .

    Is there a version of the script that continues when it runs into issues like not being able to do one part of the list of functions ?

    Perhaps Microsoft need to put something in the 20H2 update that does prepare the way !!

    Thanks

    I agree with you. I am totally frustrated and have given up. I guess I will live with 1909. Very disappointed. :(
