Hi everyone, so basically i ran into an issue with windows update recently with the new cumulative update for windows 10 this month. so it downloads the update and asks for system restart but during the configuration while shutting down it just processes till 7% config and then restarts pc saying " we couldn't complete the updates undoing changes" i tried windows troubleshooting and it found no issues. i currently dont have the tools or external HD to back up my files to format and re install windows so it will be much helpfull if anyone can help me out of this situation thank you.

iam uploading the photo of the update which it failed

Step 1 - Replace Drivers Hive Manually

Warning: this fix is specific to the user in this thread. No one else should follow these instructions as it may cause more harm than good. If you are after assistance, please start a thread of your own.

  1. Download DRIVERS.ZIP and save to your desktop.
  2. Right-click on it and select Extract all.... Make sure the "Show extracted files when complete" is checked and click Extract.
  3. Now we have the DRIVERS file that we will be using to replace your current one.
  4. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config
  5. Right-click on the current DRIVERS file and select rename. Rename it to DRIVERS.bad.
    Note: If you get an error that the file is in use, reboot your computer and then try again.
  6. Take the file from the Drivers folder on your desktop and paste it into C:\Windows\System32\config

hello softwaremaniac i tried the method mentioned above but even after replacing driver files manually i still got the same issue while updating windows which fails at the process when it asks for system restart, but i found
this quite strange that even though the update configuration failed the system update shows its up to date.

atm so is the latest update which is coming up very crucial for the system? or i can just use the one i have right now without any trouble. because iam not having any issues with performance or files its just that the update from windows are failing.
