Running v4.4.1 farkles Windows Update on Win10 w/ 0x80070643 error

<< < (3/5) > >>

jhvance:
I appreciate the assistance, but please be aware I am not a newbie with computers (have been dealing with mainframes, minicomputers and then PCs from the early 1970s onward); I've been running the Panda Dome AV -nee FREEAV- in parallel with Defender or MSE on various Windows computers for years without this particular sort of issue -- they are not incompatible.  When I have time later today, I'll uninstall Domeand test on that particular laptop to see whether WU will then install its updates, and if so re-install Dome and retest.

Boggin:
Does Panda Dome have its own firewall ?

If it doesn't then that could be why it hasn't disabled WD.

It's never a good idea to run two AV programs as that can cause anomalous problems and impact on performance -

I've uninstalled Panda Dome, first from within Windows and then after rebooting by applying the Panda uninstaller.  Tried it again after rebooting, and no joy (same error message) -- since I have run Panda in parallel with all flavors of Windows on all of my machines (XP, Win7, Win10) since 2013 and began using the TwAiO tool in 2014 on them without this type of symptom in any of them prior to this latest version, there simply is not a conflict in my experience.  I had not run the TwAiO tool on the two Win10 machines for about 6 months (i.e., several version updates), and when I did so last week it was immediately after running the battery of weekly malware scans on both.  I'm certain it was the TwAiO tool which has produced the farkled situation, but what allowed one machine to become repaired with the battery of helpful commands you've provided and not the other, is just not clear and I may have to revert to the out-of-box OS and completely reconfigure it all over -- not a happy outcome.

Boggin:
Is there any reason why you haven't updated that machine to 1809 ?

As an alternative to a factory reset, you could perform a repair install which doesn't affect personal stuff or installed programs, but the current ISO from https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 is for 1809 and it took about 6hrs to update one of my machines from 1803 to 1809.

You could also try running the latest version of Windows Repair on it to see if that will undo the update problem.

Which build of Win 10 would you get if you did factory reset it ?

jhvance:
It has not yet been offered the 1809 update, and I haven't had time to mess with trying to force it -- it's a model with memory & storage constraints which can't be modified (Toshiba didn't build those particular cl15 models with more than a 32 Gb base non-upgradeable SSD), and the whole-hog approach MS adopted with Win10 renders each major update is a true PITA to achieve successfully (often involving offload of installed apps to gain sufficient space).  Had I known it was going to be such a problem machine, I wouldn't have bought it despite its bargain price and being a handy tool for portable use.  I don't remember what the original build was, but the laptop is 3 years old so in the 15xx series, I think.

The last time it got farkled in a major Windows update I had to go back to the original image from a USB stick from Toshiba and rebuild from that -- not particularly looking forward to re-doing that process (but may have to), so when I get time over the next few days I'll try the repair install approach.
