In reply to Andre Da Costa's post on December 28, Windows 10 Home v In reply to JohnnieAlexander's post on December 28, I remember that on step 3 while troubleshooter wizard was applying the fixes, it was displaying some progress messages. One of those messages was rebuilding updates database it took about minutes for the fixes to apply.

I have 2 more windows 10 machines at home but none of them had this issue. It's really weird. The aforementioned steps was the solution in my case, so I wrote them down. The only thing I want to ask you, you were running the troubleshooter in Safe Mode with Networking? Step 1: support. Can you provide a link to the tool? I'm having this same issue and I just reinstalled windows less than 24 hours ago using MediaCreationTool from microsoft.

It looks like there are some less traumatic fixes in other answers that may work in some cases. You aren't clear on what may have been ruled out on your system before MS recommended reinstalling. Also, the MS support people have a vested interest in solving your problem quickly rather than by the least destructive method. This information is good to know, but people may want to try other things first, and save the big hammer in case the others don't work.

Yes, thats true however sometimes "Less destructive" methods can often be less successful in the long run. I seriously have doubts the only way to do this issue is a nuke your windows install.

I have about 5 different solutions but the author wiped their system so none of them can be tested. Show 4 more comments. The Overflow Blog. Who owns this outage? Building intelligent escalation chains for modern SRE. Podcast Who is building clouds for the independent developer?
