Unfortunately none of the stated 5 ways helped me. I may have some hardware that Microsoft coders don't like. Or may be it is something else… Any way I'll have to stay with Thanks again. Aaron March 21, pm. Method 4 worked to install remaining updates which were consistently failing unnecessary to install , but I didn't have time to install it yet.
Started the update at the end of the day using the Update Assistant as Matt suggested below. When I came in the next morning I had the "working" circle moving at the bottom of my screen. I then unplugged all USB's as suggested by Lakonst below. About 30 minutes later, it completed and came up with the "Ctrl-Alt-Del" page. Just don't forget to plug the keyboard back in like I did, otherwise you'll hit Ctrl-Alt-Del several times and wonder why it's not working — LOL!
Kwinn March 16, pm. Thank you for posting the solution. I was so troubled with the update problem in windows Fixing the DISM errors worked for me. Thanks again…. Nikk March 1, pm. Matthew Griffiths February 24, pm.
Until I found one thread on the Windows 10 forums where a guy mentioned about a wireless network card. He removed it and it worked. Once this was removed — BAM.
All worked. Worth a shot if you are struggling!!!!!! Joe April 14, am. Robert Dreitlein February 21, pm. Alex, Tried all your steps. Agudeza February 7, pm. I read dozens of articles where people reported the update failures and how they finally got past them.
Every suggestion in this article is a collection from those first hand experiences. And still, I am betting none of them are the actual problem. The problem is likely on Microsoft's end. The software update is written by programmers who work for Microsoft and the code controls what is happening, not our hardware. Update failures are their fault.
A Windows 10 system connecting to several thousand IP addresses on a daily basis, passing personal information to all Microsoft's affiliates. Microsoft is an information broker, and we are a product for sale. That's their agenda. Security protocols could be preventing Microsoft from fulfilling that agenda. Many of us knowingly use security software that is locking down our systems from would be information hackers or thieves.
The better 3rd part security software out there actually considers Microsoft one of those thieves. This is one of the reasons Microsoft is telling us to disable any 3rd party security software. Microsoft has already made provisions in their built in security platform and it permits them to gain access to explicit personal data.
The error I get is stating "failed to load module, update failed, restoring previous version" Even if I am only speculating, I tested one of the versions of Windows 10 several months ago and saw it was facilitating connections and sending data from my PC to over different IP addresses in one day.
This behavior varied slightly but was rather consistent on a daily basis. The French Government filed legal complaints against Microsoft and nearly banned Windows 10 from the country of France due to blatant privacy infractions. Major version updates and those requiring reboot are times when Microsoft has more exclusive control. Granted they have to so they ensure compatibility and what not.
But you can bet they are using this time to pick and choose collected data that some of us, like me, effectively locked down from their dirty paws. You want to know what I had to do in order to successfully update Windows to ? I had to remove all the registry edits that blocked the thousands of IP connections that were taking place on a daily basis. That alone is enough to tell me that if my update failed because I wasn't letting Microsoft collect the data I locked down. None of this data should be relevant to updating my software.
Whether we do not like to admit this, we are being exploited and sold. Best solution is to use the media creation tool from a computer that has a clean installation with no personal data present.
I always backup all my data which is usually in the main library folders anyway. My drive can be hot swapped so I keep a fresh install on a backup drive just for this purpose. I boot from this drive, which has version , and I use it to create the USB installation with media creation tool. I swap back to my main drive again and use the USB stick to do a fresh install of the latest version of Windows Once complete, I re-install the programs I need or want and also restore the respective data files.
This always works. No unplugging USB devices, no removing 3rd party security software or any of the unreasonable options some people claim worked. I might be very cautious how I approach this but it preserves my system from being raided by Microsoft or any of their affiliates.
This is not a drill. This is really what is going on. If a fresh install from USB stick is something you are willing to do, and you understand the way to back up relevant data and are willing to re-install some programs, It is really the best way to go. Tried all methods above, none of them work. Probably because I locked out Microsoft exploiting our data with the W10 privacy tool.
Alex February 4, pm. Phil January 30, pm. So far, no good, not even a clean install works, error 0xD-0xC. Am fresh out of ideas, have other computers happily running Win 10 , even an AM2 based system that was distributed with Vista.
If you 're using a Non-Microsoft antivirus program, then temporarily uninstall it. Follow the steps in method-3 to install the update manually 4. Finally, before rebooting the PC to install the Update, disconnect from the network.
Unplug the Ethernet cable or disable the Wi-Fi adapter. Marcel February 2, pm. PD January 23, pm. Matt December 23, am.
