I have been having issues trying to update Windows.
Whenever I access anything related to the Windows update processes that program freezes up. I try to check updates from the settings menu and the entire settings menu freezes up. I ran the troubleshooter and it didn't find any problems.
I attempted to run SFC/Scannow
to repair damage or corrupted files in the system related to the Windows update service and it manages to get to 8%
before it says:
Windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation and stops.
I've tried to run the process in safe mode as well with the same result.
In order to try and repair SFC I ran DISM's /RestoreHealth
command and it went to 100%
and /CheckHealth
along with /ScanHealth
report no problems related to the system image. However SFC still refuses to do anything past 8%
.
I have also attempted to do an in-place Windows upgrade but that resulted in it eventually checking for updates and hanging forever around 60% and never progressing anywhere.
What can I do to resolve this issue, short of reinstalling Windows?
