Windows 10 updating issue. - (KB3140741) - Error 0x800736b3

Thanks for the assistance I probably wouldn't have thought to run hardware diagnostics. This thread can be closed and marked as solved now.

Windows 10 updating issue. - (KB3140741) - Error 0x800736b3

I had no other devices running Windows so I borrowed a friend's laptop to use the Windows Media creation tool to make a flash drive. I ran it with just the good RAM in and successfully reinstalled windows and am up to date. Now just the tedious part of reconfiguring everything.

Windows 10 updating issue. - (KB3140741) - Error 0x800736b3

Tried doing the online installation with just the good RAM in. But I guess Windows was so corrupted that it didn't work right. When it rebooted to install it froze up. I figured I'd go back to my recovery from last week and then do the online installation, but I can no longer boot into windows I...

Windows 10 updating issue. - (KB3140741) - Error 0x800736b3

Start-up repair was unable to fix issues. Memtest failed because of one of the two sticks(of a pair) need to check on the warranty. Going to have to leave the one stick out and then I'm just going to reinstall Windows.

Windows 10 updating issue. - (KB3140741) - Error 0x800736b3

Windows explorer is stuck on a restart loop when booting either either stick or both. The desktop isn't usable as well. Programs when launched from task manager work properly and even the file explorer itself works. It's possible that when I tried to boot into Windows with only the faulty stick...

Windows 10 updating issue. - (KB3140741) - Error 0x800736b3

While looking through BIOS I noticed the frequency for my ram was wrong. I modified that to the correct higher frequency trying with both sticks and it causes problems with Windows making it unusable. This could explain why it seemed fine before. Going to try just the good stick now at the...

I checked each ram stick and various slots and it seems just one ram stick is getting trouble, I'll try again with the newer version though. EDIT: Using one working ram stick and going to setting to go to update, freezes that window upon clicking "Update and Security"

The search bar seems to be working now. No changes were made to make this happen. Pretty odd.

No it was around 33, and that was after rebooting. I have now redone the test with memtest86+ and still received many errors.

Windows 10 updating issue. - (KB3140741) - Error 0x800736b3

Going to be away from that machine for a few days, but I will try all of that when I get back. The fact that I can't use search definitely pises more of an annoyance when doing these things. I did see the memtest86+ option but I didn't know which to run. If that still returns failure I'll have...

Windows 10 updating issue. - (KB3140741) - Error 0x800736b3

I had already thought of the secure boot option immediately when I was doing it, what turned out to be the problem was booting in UEFI vs Legacy. Been running memtest86 via UBCD for about 9 and a half hours now with over 65,000 errors, that can't be right, right? My computer never crashes nor...

Still won't boot into it. I have tried 3 different mirrors of each the CD version and usb version including the torrent one and checked the hash of the files each time and all were fine. I also tried making the media in three different USB media tools, including RUFUS. I made sure the USB drive...

Windows 10 updating issue. - (KB3140741) - Error 0x800736b3

Still working on the Ultimate boot cd option... Note I do not have a disk drive and am trying via a live USB. I tried several different downloads from the link and burned to a USB but it fails to boot from it each time, as well as from my laptop. Other live usb media that I have on hand and have...

Windows 10 updating issue. - (KB3140741) - Error 0x800736b3

Updated first post. Windows updates have been failing for a little while now, maybe 2 or 3 months(See figure.1), but I only recently started trying to fix the issue. Note that this installation is an upgrade from 8.1 to 10 as of ~8 months ago. Also No system restore point was created, but I...

I was unable to finish the thread because I needed to restart, and now most services became disabled again for no apparent reason. I am currently typing from another device this time. Also how can I edit the orriginal post?
