Great tips and examples. Keep up the good work. As a last ditch pass I'm a big fan of 1). backing up important files to an external drive, 2). fresh Windows install using latest ISO, 3). update missing drivers and patches.

Great tip!

Use clonezilla or macrium reflect to image your system. Use Google's backup & sync to backup NB documents instantly. Limit is 15Gigs. Otherwise Backblaze offer unlimited storage

for people who still have the slow 'Microsoft updates' download , unless you have slow internet speed, try this : Make sure that the download speed in Delivery Optimization > advanced options > Download Options set to Absolute bandwidth , if the boxes under it are active make sure you turn them off, and set it to absolute bandwidth. some people may have it active on limited download for background and foreground without realizing , that's one of the reasons the download takes a long time.

I notice that the more old version of w10 you have gone through the slower the installation of new feature update takes. I personally do a clean install to the latest version of 10 (after Windows as fixed most of the bugs) after 2 to 3 feature update so to keep Windows more clean.

[@johnathanasiou9284]

I deeply wished that MS would bring back the LTS channel release selections for those PCs which don't really need feature updates like retail, production level, public signage etc at very least for Win10 Pro editions, like it used to have. Buggy win updates are a primary reason why OEM vendors dont always push them on Win10 embedded systems. I am aware that its apparently enabled in Win10 Enterprise ed but that ed is super expensive & in todays CV19 depressed economic climate its a hard sell to quote on per unit cost, when the PC hardware itself costs very little in comparison & is getting cheaper

[@Aryan-25.10]

[@jdhtyler]

Photograph your screen before changes so you do not have to remember what was enabled / disabled Some time ago there was a message flashed during boot, I used my phone camera to video so that I could read what it said. I wish I was back in the days of Dos 6 and windows 3.11 back then I spent 99% of my time using the PC for what I wanted now I spend over +50% doing updating and fixing. 1984 we had an Amstrad and a 30MB hard card and for years we used ABC4 accounting software with very few problems in 10 years, we never filled the disk EVER.

To the best of my knowledge, if sfc finds issues you should then run dism with 'check health" then' scan health' and then ' restore health'

I must admit though, the download then update started (slowly, but surely) without me going through and running the Powershell script at the end. I wasn't entirely sure what that part was for...

I have an issue that, whenever I resume updates then it comes cumulative update (for every month) it takes too much time to install(nearly 5-6 hours on the settings page and takes 20 minutes to restart) and at that time period when I use my pc it freezes frequently and in task manager, it is 100% disk usage(during the update, process name-'system' and 'windows module installer worker'). So my point is do you have any solution for this?

because windows module install worker install updates and does most thing for changing files of the os

Try updates in a new user profile. I'd enable the full administrator acc. If updates do not work in that Admin acc, run sfc and 3x dism commands (check, scan and fix health). Then shut down and try updates in the admin acc again. If that fails, Google win 10 software distribution folder location. Backup that folder then rename it, reboot and try update again. Could also be the Background Intelligent Transfer Service having failed / become corrupt.
