[@Mangomesh]

@Britec09 Just wondering if you can recommend any computer companies in the UK? Just looking for something to game on, as I'm struggling to find a decent graphics card. Oh and I really don't mind If I have to buy a new rig just for a new graphics card.

Thank you! i deal with one of my PCs right now. Any upgrade from re-install them does not let me keep. "Some update files are missing or have problems. We'll try to download the update again later. Error code: (0x8007000d)" I think the patch you had add it and another year in a video but don't have it any more. I can't see your link for it here. Oh! You gave me luck! i had it in sub-sub-sub folder.

Most common problems that I get after formatting or Installing Windows 10 and updating to latest drivers are Wi-Fi disconnecting/dissapearing, pc not waking up from sleep , fake threats alerts from Windows Security and extremely long boot time, around 10~15 minutes to do a restart, No matter what I do these problems still stay for about a month then they slowly dissappear by itself, It's weird 🤔

[@lukefallon8276]

I block updates because they always screw up the normal functioning of my computer in the first place. New updates almost always cause problems with other software.

@@Britec09 I do sympathize a little with Microsoft as they have to write updates with So many different Configs of Systems ( unlike Apple ) BUT when it’s a OS update written by Microsoft then there is no Excuse for failed Updates and Update Issues . Microsoft have gotten worse over the last 5-6 Years with updates and General OS issues .. With 11 on the Horizon I only Hope they get better on delivering Trusted Stable Updates .. won’t hold my breath Though Brian .. Hope You and Yours are Well and Happy .. All the best Sir Noel

I am a member of a local computer club. One guy was a beginner and helped him with the basics. I found that this guy didn't know Windows has updates. He used his laptop a short time a day and was a full 2 years behind update wise. He didn't know.

The 5 reasons why Win updates fail are all the same....It's because Microsoft does them.

[@Britec09]

[@flipflopski2951]

I used Windows from Win 95 to Windows 7... anytime I ever had to visit the Microsoft website it was useless or made things worse.

[@cee128d]

The number 1 reason I find is running Windows from a spinning rust hard drive instead of an SSD. It takes so long for updates to finish on spinning rust that way too often the update never finishes due to the computer going to sleep or being shutdown before it finishes. I never find that issue when running from an SSD. And every one of those systems that had issues running spinning rust have never run into update issues after the spinning rust was replaced by an SSD, even when we just cloned the old drive.

[@erjoncota2331]

Also after using normally my laptop, after 1 year I start getting notifications and error codes for Failed updates, usually error codes related to full storage or full reserved storage, although hdd never exceed half of the capacity , I still manage to fix them but it's so time consuming and over time these problems becomes harder to fix

[@ComeonWindows]

I just deleted windows update service and hid it from the settings app. Because I don't want any update especially with my old hard drive

[@j1shm580]

i have 2 updates and there not downloading guessing because two is too many soo how do i actually solve this????

[@jment34]

None of the methods worked. This is what windows tells me: We couldn't connect to the update service. We'll try again later, or you can check now. If it still doesn't work, make sure you're connected to the Internet.

[@johnme60]

Sir I have a problem that you can only solve plz read: I connect my phone with win10 with android mobile hotspot to use internet. And I used to use ex file explorer to open ftp server and access that in file explorer of Windows to share files. But for few days. Windows explorer isn't opening that server and neither internet explorer ( I tried passive ftp enable and other tricks) It behaves like server is offline. But if i connect other phone to same hotspot .it opens up that. It's not opening my two phone's ip that i used to use frequently. I reinstalled Windows (with keep app options and data ) Tried everything with firewall suggested in articals. But nothing happened. please help sir. I know you can solve this. I am watching this channel for long time.

Simple most so-called Windows updates are Trojan Horses containing other things having nothing to do with product performance improvement.

[@fernanddubois1792]

Well I came across new cause for Windows update failure. VPN was running - Nordvpn in my case. I had tried everything from one of your previous videos - nothing…. Gave up took it to a computer store I needed a EUFI update anyway. They tried shutting off VPN and problem solved

[@Pharesm]

You should be afraid when windows updates succeed! Windows was running just fine, but all my software was gone! Everything, along with the license keys, authentications for websites! I lost 3 days of work time to fix my system! I had to stop sales!

[@Pharesm]

And they completely redecorated my system with their dumb pictures I didn''t ask for! If it wasn't during my sleep, I would have pulled the network cable! MS is insane and evil!

Updates fail simply because the OS sucks. The last update that was literally shoved up my ass changed my color scheme to an ugly black font with a ugly grey background. It installed something crapapp called audio wizard... and they put some shit weather icon in my systray that was very annoying. Microsoft sucks dude haha...
