[SOLVED] Unable to update Windows 10 for around a year

Blueberry826 · Nov 17, 2018

Hi,

I've been unable to update 99% of my updates. When I restart my computer to install the updates, it says that it couldn't apply the updates and no changes have been made. I've tried sfc /scannow and it returns "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them". I've also tried DISM and that's failed too. I've also tried running SFCFix.exe but it crashes every time. Here is the link to my CBS.zip: WeTransfer
Thank you very much for your help.

Hello and welcome!

It appears that you may have redirected some system critical folders onto another drive and that is causing the failure. Please revert these modifications.

Thank you for responding!

I must've done these modifications a long time ago, so I don't know which folders have been redirected. Is there a way to know which folders need to be placed back to their correct drive? Thanks again for your help!

Hello,

I've changed back the ProgramFilesDir registry values to their default state. 2 updates went through but the rest still failed. Here's my new CBS.zip: WeTransfer

Hello,

I restarted my computer again and had Windows Update download and install the updates and they all went through. Thank you very much for your help softwaremaniac!!
