Back on October 15 I published a post called Windows Update Hell. In that post I detailed the troubles I faced while trying to install a Windows 10 update. I thought, and hoped, it was a one-time problem that I had resolved, but the problem has resurfaced. I’m in Windows Update Hell again.
This time the problem is with an upgrade to Windows 10 version 1709. Every time Windows updater runs, it gets to a point where it hangs. I have to reboot and run the Windows update troubleshooter, which (supposedly) identifies and fixes problems with the updater. And it does find problems, and it says it has fixed the problems. But it hasn’t fixed anything. I can run the update troubleshooter five times in a row, and it will tell me, five times in a row, that it has found problems and fixed them. It always finds — and claims to have fixed — the same problems.
I’ll try a few more things and see if I can resolve this problem. But I’m willing to waste only so much time on this Windows 10 updater issue. If I can’t fix it in a few more attempts, it’s going to be goodbye Windows 10 and hello Linux.
