This time it was a cumulative update and some other update.

Every week when powered up (whether from sleep or a reboot) 100% of disk and lots of memory and CPU eaten up by windows update and windows installer processes. As noted in my last post 21H1 did successfully install.

This topic was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by WSBJB. Would an ISO forced install of 20H2 work? I really don’t care what version I am on….just need it to stop chugging the hard drive. Most Google searches on this error and update see, to be talking about a cumulative update for H so really confused. I have not yet deleted files etc as windows update is functioning, but there appears to be an issue with this one. I only have one integrated video card so cannot uninstall Nvidia.Īnd….literally as I am typing this the install of KB 5003637 went from 20% to 100%! But then it errored out with error 0x80073701. I then tried the windows upgrade manager and it tried to install 20H1 …took forever to get to 96% installed….then this morning I wake it up and it is on login screen, and upon boot up, it is still on 2004. Update offered 20H2 so I tried that and it would not install. It said it wasn’t the right version for my PC but it is! I then went to Microsoft and downloaded what I am sure was the right version, x86 Windows 10 version and tried to install manually. I stopped and restarted the update service with no Joy. I have tried in place install for this KB and it stalls at 20%. I was not trying to update this laptop just needed to use it! But the windows upgrade service was consuming resources so just wanted it to finish so I could use the laptop. This is an older Dell laptop and unrelated to my other thread.
