Hello all,
I have been unable to update my windows 10 since version 586 was first installed (against my will). A few years ago when I was running on a smaller hard drive, windows tried to update and failed because it completely ran out of space. While that may not be the cause, ever since then no major updates will work. I have since changed to a different much larger drive. I have tried using sfc and dism to repair the apparent corruption with no success. I have even enlisted microsoft tech suport which was also not a success.
I have a large amount of software on this computer that took forever to configure properly and would really like to avoid having to re-install and configure it all if possible.
sfc fails with "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation". dism fails with messages about accessing temporary folders.
sfcfix appears to run dism and fails and then reports no corruptions were detected.
Something must be severely messed up and I was hoping one of you experts could help me fix.
Originally when I started looking into this, everything seemed to revolve around volume shadow copy service refusing to work.
If someone could help me figure this out it would be much appreciated.
