Several things to try.
You have a excellent presentation style.
My PC is not compatible with Windows 11 apparently, and I noticed a few months ago that the monthly update is no longer happening for my Windows 10. I consider the Windows update to be fixed in this case, and I'm keeping this PC until it's as relevant as a rotary phone.
At work for some unknown reason our company customized installation media for MS Office while installing disabled the "Network List Service" after a reboot. This happened on every single PC we installed. After this service was disabled the Network icon did not show on the task bar. And if you got to the network settings page it would crash in a second or 2. Windows Update would report a failure code while looking for updates. After several hours of trying the troubleshooter / just fix it, SFC /Scannow, DISM ... nothing helped. It took me many hours to find a post about this which lead me to check and see that indeed "Network List Service" was disabled and that reenabling it fixed all of the issues. I then after some testing found out that our Office installer was the cause. I don't know if this was something someone in software licensing did or what but it was quite a frustrating problem.
I have the "We couldn't connect to the update service" error message. I suspect it is left over from a bad update from 2021. I tried all of the repair methods that you recommend but had no success. I would update to Windows 11 except that my laptop my processor does not support VBS security on the Intel 7th Gen, Kady Lake processor. But that is another story. I feel you should have mentioned in the video that Windows Update is not the only way to update the computer. I had to use the manual method to get the latest updates. Yes, you need to be careful doing that, but I feel it is better than a complete reinstall of Windows 10. Leo, you have great articles and have been a fantastic help to me. Thank you!!
Honestly, given what you describe, I'd trust a complete reinstall of Windows 10 more.
For me, the manual install was easy. I just made sure which build I had and made the correct download choice. I did not want to reinstall everything back onto my computer. Worked like a charm.
I fix the Windows updates with an upgrade install. Works every time. Troubleshooter has never ever worked for me.
How did I fix Windows updates? I switched to Linux Mint Cinnamon.
The latest windows update causes a blue screen then it uninstalls itself again 01-2024 but 02-2024 hasn't installed yet cause I didn't try it
Should bitlocker be turned off for a windows update
Windows update should work fine. I does for me, and I have BitLocker on.
@@askleonotenboom no it shouldn't because it hasn't been working
Hi, my phone exploded while charging and is completely irreparable. I forgot the password to my email acc and I never added a recovery email. I tried all recovery methods... I still have the same cell number however if I use it as a recovery method they send the confirmation code to my email which I don't have access to. Is there any way could help me please? I desperately need that email back
The real answer should have been don't try and fix it (the latest update that won't install). It's Microsoft's mess. Let them fix it.
It's Microsoft's mess, for sure, but it puts YOU at risk when you miss important security updates. Thus it's in your best interest to do what you can.
@@askleonotenboom -- From what I've read regarding the "Windows 10 Update KB5034441 Error," the issue is tied to the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) partition not having sufficient free space for the update to install. According to Microsoft, at least 250 MB free space is needed. Windows Disk Management showed my WinRE partition at about 560 MB in size.
Microsoft outlined steps to encrease the WinRE partition. However, it involves using CMD prompts.
Instead of making potential typing errors in the CMD window, I chose to use MiniTool's "Partition Wizard" (free version). The app basically created a script (scripts?) that resized my C:\Windows and WinRE partions through two automatic reboots. I chose to increase my WinRE partion to 1.6 GB to make sure I had more than enough free space.
The Windows 10 Update KB5034441 then installed with no problem.
NOTE: If the PC's system drive is encrypted with "Bitlocker," partition resizing is not possible, at least with MiniTools. The drive would first need to be decrypted.
