Hello,
I've come to this forum as the quality of answers in previous Windows problem threads was very high and I found valueable insight already. I still cannot fix the problem I'm having with my Windows 10:
Recently, perhaps two months ago, my printer driver stopped working, I presume this was triggered by a Windows update. On other computers accessing the same printer, this issue was also present but got resolved after updating to the 1709 version.
Digging a little deeper I realized that this Windows already failed to install the 1703 update but apparently was not as persistent as it is now in nagging me with update notifications. The situation is that Windows Update attempts to download the update (5 hours via my slow connection), installs it, fails and reverts and promptly downloads the update again for a new try. Not only does this clog my connection but I feel it's becoming a more serious problem now with the printer not working and maybe other hardware in future.
I followed the usual advice like
or reverting the DISM image as well as other hints from everywhere but nothing helped.
An in-place update (per Media Creation Tool) fails as well as reverting to an old snapshot. Resetting the COMPONENTs did not help or I performed it incorrectly.
Analyzing the update log (CBS) showed that apparently the update fails when updating a driver as seen in the relevant snippet from the log. Can provide more if requested.
I never used the miradisp driver and I have no Miracast device at all but it seems to be packaged with Windows by default.
I suspect the registry or parts of it are corrupt but I have no idea how to fix it. I've come here as last resort basically, since I'm out of ideas. I fixed a lot of Windows problems but my knowledge is too limited to continue here. Even though, I'd really like to keep this installation as a full reinstall with all applications would take me days. Is there any hope?
