One of the easiest to follow and most concise how-to videos I have ever seen (and I've seen a few... have been using computers since BEFORE Windows was ever created... think Atari, Commodore, Apple I and Texas Instruments), and I think you did a great job on it. The downside is, it did not work for me either. I am running Windows 10 Pro, and I got through both sets of instructions with zero hitches and each command seemed to do what it was supposed to do (no additional errors, I mean). The end result I Windows Update seemed to already be set to Automatic, and I had zero options to Stop, or restart it for some reason. Thus, I was not able to restart the Windows Updates services and actually complete the update. Any ideas on what I might do from there?

I've tried several guides and videos but nothing worked. My laptop goes anywhere from 100% to 5% performance in the span of about 2 seconds and I can't do anything about it. The command prompt full reset and reinstall but nothing. Before the 1903 update it ran wonderfully but now it may as well be scrap

i find it amazing that every single problem my computer presents me with, seems to have additional hidden problems that counter every available solution

[MrEriovaldo]

Thank you. The first option worked perfectly on Windows 10. You saved my day and my money. Thanks a thousand time for your tip.

[Sasorii..]

When i press *run as administrator* it shows ‘access to C is denied’

Any solutions?
