quick way to reset WU press Win+X -> Command Prompt (Admin) or Powershell (Admin) and enter: Code: echo . taskkill /t /f /im trustedinstaller.exe /im tiworker.exe /im wuauclt.exe /im sihclient.exe /im usoclient.exe /im mousocoreworker.exe bitsadmin /reset /allusers net1 stop wuauserv net1 stop bits net1 stop cryptsvc cmd /c rd /s /q "%SystemRoot%\system32\catroot2" cmd /c rd /s /q "%SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution" net1 start cryptsvc net1 start bits net1 start wuauserv echo . Sometimes wuauserv remains in limbo and cannot restart, so enter the same commands one more time, it usually fixes it. Won't fix broken/blocked WU by various software and scripts, in that case you need an in-place-upgrade like Enthousiast mentioned
Did you do the inplace upgrade using the 19041.508 ISO when you successfully uninstalled the 20H2 EP?
Enthousiast, you really did a good job of steering Spartan in the right direction about this issue. I have uninstalled the EP several times, and performed in-place upgrades after that, and it has worked every time!
IDK, I have had 100% bone stock installs fail to install updates from time to time and heavily modified installed go from 1803 all the way to 20H2 without ever having a problem installing updates. One thing I do know that increases the odds of updates failing is installing additional languages. I maintain a few systems that have Russian and/or Ukrainian installed on top of a base English install and they seem to frequently have issues with updates.
I thought starting with Patch Tuesday a single installer would be offered to LCU and SSU. Also, does anyone have problems when running a VM created by Hyper-V after installing the LCU? It seems to be an ethernet problem.
I'm hearing sporadic reports from other websites about this months (9/2020) updates creating issues with the following: --Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) --Trimming of HDDs (defragment/optimization) <--Not completely fixed for HDDs. --Bitdefender (Security) --Paintshop Pro 7 The only issue that affects my systems is the defragment bug. I've long since turned off Windows automatic trimming of my SSDs. I just manually trim them with the following commandlines: From an elevated command prompt: Defrag X: /L /U Where X is the driveletter for the SSD to be trimmed. Note: Colon after the drive letter. From Powershell: Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter X -ReTrim -Verbose Where X is the driveletter for the SSD to be trimmed. Note: No Colon after the drive letter.
SSD trimming and showing "never ran" were fixed in .487 iirc (or earlier). SSD: Code: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19042.508] (c) 2020 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
