    You seem to be having some trouble...

    Search online for a tool to RENAME on Reboot.

    I use LockHunter to rename or delete files on reboot that are locked by services that I do not have permission to stop (nor want to adjust their permissions).

    Fingers crossed for you!

    I am on windows, and only with the boot stick was I able to rename (move, via cmd) the catroot2 to catroot2_

    But I forgot to wash&repeat for windows\softwaredistribution !

    Is it just me that can't rename these folders from in windows?

    I think Resource Monitor indicates Mpeng (defender) as having files open. I ran a few things to disable defender (features) , which may be why sfc /verify reports tampering... and still windows update is complaining about stuff that's probably already installed

    People! Stop these garbage responses that have NOTHING to do with SFC and DISM!

    You would be better to suggest they check the registry or rebuild the driver hive! Or to perform a repair of Windows Update. OR perform a selective restart with services enabled/disabled - THAT would be much smarter approach to identify a conflict!

    ALL these suggestions are COPY and PASTED and are wasting YOUR time and the members on this forum.

    HOW TO REPLICATE: Installing OPTIONAL Windows Updates that require MANUAL installation.

    No feedback. No error message. Nothing.

    HOW TO FIX:

    Scroll down the page and PAUSE your updates.

    Wait 30 seconds...

    Now scroll to the top of the page and click "Resume Update" button.

    Woohoo!!! Downloading and updating again! Catalogue is in sync!

    PROBLEM SOLVED! :D
