Hello,

I'm not able to update windows software, i have tried manual updating using Windows 10 update assistant but once I wanna install it tells me that i'm downgrading and that Windows has to delete all my files if i go ahead which is odd.

I have also tried w10-wuauserv.reg method as i saw it on the forum but didn't work as well.

I might have messed with the cmd prompt at some point but not sure if that is the reason behind the error and I don't know how to go back to point null to see if that's the case.

Please help..

    Try to run this troubleshooter to fix Windows Security.

    It's ok. For an unknown reason, the service is hidden. Could you run again this commands running CMD as administrator please?

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    sfc /scannow

    After that, try to run Windows update
