windows 10 update problem

[cookiemonster]

Hi I keep getting this problem in windows 10,
We couldn’t connect to the update service. We’ll try again later, or you can check now. If it still doesn’t work, make sure that you’re connected to the Internet.

any ideas this has been happening since about the 29.01.19.

Apparently its a new bug with the previous 1809 October/November update last year which got pushed out at the end of last month just gone because it was just so buggy.

I feel your pain, I just completed a fresh win 10 install last week because rolling back from the 1809 update had totally wrecked my install.

same here I have one of mine and my granddaughters siting after a fresh install, is there any other way they can be updated or are they trying to sort it.

There is a work around found here on KitGuru but its only a temporary one though

 

[cookiemonster]

thanks I think I will wait hopefully not to long.

Make sure the system date \ time is correct.

This is I think the main reason as to why uptake of Win 10 has been so slow (40.90% market share per netmarketshare after almost 4 years versus 37.19% for Win 7). The ability to hold off until one can ascertain how many folks are suffering mild to serious "bleeding edge injuries" is a user's most critical tool for maintaining productivity. Not that it is limited to Win 10 ... on Win 7 have seen so many problems with Rollup Previews, that I never install them when received as "optional updates" ... Even after the "beta period" when they switch to "important updates". I have had issues ... tried to install recent rollup and it just won't go in ... that and the update to Windows Defender , the latter of which doesn't phase me.

It would be great if MS adopted the "preview" release mode for all updates which would allow the more adventurous to jump on early. I don't buy the "for everyone's protection" argument. We have seen just one infection since 1992 and that was a virus brought in on a floppy disk which was flagged in disk insertion. If the world ever appoints me as the gran regulatory poobah for MS, I'd make the software license just like driving. If you have a good record, you get some leeway, you don't wanan install an update for a week, based upon your record, they let ya wait a set period. You frequenting porn warez and other sites and logging infections or other problems ... you get "points on ya license" ... if you a bad boy, everthing goes in day 1. Think of the industry it would create ... folks could offer classes and after passing, you get a code that loosens up the restrictions a bit !

I have found the Windows Update Troubleshooter useful at times

Which solution did you use?

 

[cookiemonster]

didn't use any solution I was having little annoying problems so I thought I would just do a clean install again.

Apparently there were some DNS issues with certain ISPs that was messing up Windows Update.

Pitty Windows 7 doesnt have DX12 support otherwise i would of been back to it in a flash. Windows 10 has been nothing but a mess, Its almost like nobody tests the updates before rolling it out or their preference is so long as the update installs perfectly on their test machine then its 100% green lit to roll out to everyone else without further testing on how windows 10 behaves once its been patched.

yup, it was not limited to just Windows 10 alone. all versions of Windows were affected; I even ran a Windows Update scan on the Win7 & Win8.1 computers that Tuesday Jan. 29 and got error messages due to those DNS problems but got resolved the next day for some.

Windows 10 has been nothing but a mess

maybe for most editions of Win10 but certainly NOT the LTSB/LTSC versions of Win10, which I find very usable and don't come with most of the "crap" that the non-ltsb versions have
