[OPLINTECH] Windows 10 update issues

[Chad Neeper]

Kevin,

I didn't get a chance to respond last week, but if you're still having
problems with Windows Update, I've had success over the years with doing a
full reset on the Windows Update subsystem. Here's a Microsoft document
describing how to do it:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/971058/how-do-i-reset-windows-update-components
We do it enough that I threw the commands into a batch file and run it that
way to prevent needing to manually type all the necessary commands. The
Microsoft instructions has you "try A, and if that doesn't work, try B, and
if that doesn't work, try C...". But in my experience A, B, C, etc doesn't
ever work when repairing WU and I end up doing all of the steps. So in my
own script, I just go nuclear do all of the commands every time and haven't
looked back. I've only ever had one (Windows 7) computer that was hosed
enough that resetting WU in this manner wouldn't fix it.

I wasn't going to clutter up this post with code, but when I glanced at it,
it looked fairly short. So here's the bulk of the "ResetWindowsUpdate.cmd"
batch file I wrote a few years ago. Note:  My original script had a minor
dependency on another batch file I wrote that checks for elevated
privileges. I just now edited that code out of this script but haven't
tested my changes. I'm 99.99% certain that this will run correctly as-is,
but if it doesn't, you may need to make a minor tweak somewhere. Just be
sure to run in an elevated command prompt because the script will no longer
check for it.

As with anything, use at your own risk and YMMV!

HTH,
Chad
