Hello community,

My Pc has been recently doing some weird things to me. It goes a little like this-
I usually press Alt+F4 to shut off my pc. In the options menu, sometimes it will have update and shut down (rather than just shut down) and I select this option.

Everything shuts down like normal.

When I turn the pc back on, it gives me the usual windows updating screen, however after restarting it shows a screen that says something along the lines of uninstalling, unable to install updates.

When I look in the update manager, I've noticed these are the ones that have been failing:
KB4022715
KB3186568

A couple of other successful updates proceed as follows
KB890830
KB4022730

Does anyone know what could be happening? I'll list my system specs, but I doubt they will be necessary.

CPU: AMD X4 860k 4 core
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-f2a68hm-h
Boot drive: WD Blue 500 GB 7200rpm
Storage drive: Hitachi travelstar 750GB 7200rpm
Memory: 8gb 1600 DDR3 Team elite plus

Thanks for the help.
 
Solution
it seems the instructions I got from Microsoft are wrong (never done this before and sort of expected they knew how their command work)

the difference appears to be quote signs - DISM /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:"Full path of .cab file"
which are absent in the quotes I got from them..

error 87 is an error about the format of the commands, so hopefully the " in this command above is only problem.

you can download them from the windows update catalog and manually install them

https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4022715
https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB3186568

open command prompt (admin)
copy/paste this into window
Dism /Add-Package /PackagePath:<path_to_cabfile>
change <path to cab file> to the location of the patch

Here is an example:
Dism /Image:C:\test\offline /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\packages\package1.cab /PackagePath:C:\packages\package2.cab /IgnoreCheck

/Add-Package

Installs a specified .cab or .msu package in the image. An .msu package is supported only when the target image is offline, either mounted or applied.
Multiple packages can be added on one command line. The applicability of each package will be checked. If the package cannot be applied to the specified image, you will receive an error message. Use the /IgnoreCheck argument if you want the command to process without checking the applicability of each package.+
Use the /PreventPending option to skip the installation of the package if the package or Windows image has pending online actions. (Introduced in Windows 8/Windows PE 4.0).
/PackagePath can point to:
- A single .cab or .msu file.
- A folder that contains a single expanded .cab file.
- A folder that contains a single .msu file.
- A folder that contains multiple .cab or .msu files.

I tried that, this is what the command prompt told me
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.14393.0


Error: 87

The add-package option is unknown.
For more information, refer to the help by running DISM.exe /?.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log

Solution






yayyy i had similiar problems for months.... and now.... drumroll..... finally i found a solution !

it seems like windows really dosnt want to do the updates if the following services are disabled... (maybe from some privacy tweakin tools or advice?)

first i need to thank windowsreport.com , thats where i found the solution....

here i copy the list of services:

citation:

Follow the instructions below to apply this workaround and hopefully resolve the issue at hand:

In the Search Windows bar, type services.msc and open Services.
Confirm that the following services on the list are set to run Automatic:

TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules
Server
Workstation
Automatic Updates OR Windows Update
Background Intelligent Transfer Service

Right-click on the each of these services and open Properties.
Make sure that they are set to Automatic.

AFTER THAT:

download the MEDIA CREATION TOOL

when asked set it to keep apps and data...

then let it run...

after a while you will be back on a working windows with all recent updates installed !

Have a good time !
 


wow what a nice comment.... grrr

maybe you can imagine that i knew that myself without havin update service on you cant even start tryin it.... eh ?

its mention in that list only for completeness....

but have you thought about the other ones mentioned ?
thats what the actual info is
people use system optimize tips at some time and then dont remember weeks or even months later...
then...
after activating win update service ... to initiate another try... after so many fails,
you get back with tha cant install have to reverse loop....

only way to escape that annoying loop is disable update service again and wait for further changes to maybe try later again...

thinkin before commenting helps a lot
