These days, updating Windows is like playing Russian Roulette. Microsoft keeps breaking things, and we have to figure out how to fix them, over and over. When you've finally had enough and nothing is working for you, try THIS! Not to worry: Microsoft will break it...
This is a fun one! You try to install some updates to Windows, and your puter reboots. And reboots, and reboots, and reboots... It seems to get stuck at 35% or some percentage, but then it does nothing. Restarting your puter doesn't help, because it just stays at the...
So you've tried to fix Windows Update, but it just won't work. Even my earlier solution didn't work... Never fear! There is a way to essentially 'reinstall' Windows Update that will fix it good. But first, there's one other step you should take to make sure this never...
In recent years, Microsoft hasn't done a very good job with updating Windows 10. Even those updates that are 'fully tested' often end up royally screwing up some computers. Everyone just assumes that a new Windows Update means crashes, blue screens, and stuff that...
Update 30 March 2021: You can also watch the video! Let's say you just ran Disk Cleanup to remove old Windows files that you don't need any more. Then you notice that Windows Update keeps giving you error messages. No matter how many times you try, the updates keep...
This one is a really, really fun problem: You dutifully let Windows download updates. It tries to install them, but fails with some kind of "0x800*****" error code. Great, what now? Well, normally you'd just click the button and try to install them again. You'd think...

You might have heard that Windows 11 officially launched a month ago. You might also be wondering (still) if Win 11 will actually run on your puter. Well, you're not alone! Things are pretty much as murky as before. In fact, they're so confused that even though...
These days, you might not want too many Windows 10 updates given all the problems they tend to cause. But the fact remains that if you can't update Windows at all due to some cryptic error message, you're still in trouble. You're missing out on security and...
Yet another new 'version' of Windows 10! This time, they're calling it 20H2 (as in 2nd half of 2020) instead of 2010 (as in October 2020). I guess the old numbering scheme was getting a bit tiresome since 2004 and 2010 make it sound like the new Windows 10 is already...
Windows 10 2004, called the Windows 10 May Update, was released eons ago. Despite the fact that this version was tested for ages, it still managed to cause various headaches for many users. That's why you probably don't have it yet - but you will soon! So, what's...
Yet another new version of Windows 10! A new update to Windows 10 was released just a few days ago, and once again the rollout was quite smooth. The difference this time was that 1909 isn't really a "Feature Update". It installs very quickly and changes... well,...
Another new version of Windows 10! A new update to Windows 10 was released a few weeks back, and this time the roll-out seemed to be way smoother than the last version - which is nice. I got the update fairly quickly this time around, which almost never happens. The...
It's that time again! A new update to Windows 10 was re-released a few weeks back, and it appears that it's FINALLY rolling out to end users. You may have heard that this update was the October 2018 update. It was, but then there were "a few problems" like people's...
