My computer has been shutting down at random intervals, usually overnight, since friday. Having ruled out any hardware failures, my only probable cause left is that Windows 10 is failing to update. Event logs for windows system only tell me that the last shutdown was unexpected but provides no further reasoning as to why... other than it usually occurs not long after windows update fails.
I've tried deleting the downloaded update and downloading it new again. I've tried the update troubleshooter and did all the "fixes" (i'm convinced it does nothing). I've tried installing from a USB with windows meda creator. I've tried booting from the USB.
None of these solutions works.
Updating from boot tells me I can't upgrade my version of windows because the drive it is on is formatted MBR. Yet Windows is running on it.
All methods of updating usually fail somewhere above 86% install.
I'm running windows 10 1803, October update. It says a new update is available. My version is a free upgrade from windows 8.1 for which I still have the install disc and serial key.
How can I update?
