General Computer Support / Re: Cannot get Windows 10 to update.

if you use the WSUS offline updater, it's free, you don't have to buy it, it works EXTREMELY well. Fixed 4 machines I had that would not update. Seriously.

So from looking at your log, you have a disk Volume Label Windows 8 OS, but it's actually Windows 10PC? so it was an upgrade in place from windows 8 (or 8.1) to windows 10? You should eventually back up your data, and just do a clean install...it will work SO much nicer. Upgrades just never work real well. Seeing how many file changed made to the table, you may have to do that.

in addition to chkdsk, you can also run scandisk which checks operating system files. (chkdsk just checks the disk)

in an elevated command prompt, at the end of the prompt, type sfc /scannow   ...and let it run, and see what happens. Post back...

If you just do the manual update, it will usually (after it updates) also fix the update issue, and in short time, you can go back to automatic updating. I actually liked it better...on my own terms and solved 4 computer update issues for me so far.

So there are no internal card readers on the list...so is that because I'm right, and there is NOT any compatible ones? (That's what I believe...) sure is disappointing. It's so nice to have one right there on the front of the case with no cables running everywhere. I much prefer it to the USB ones...but oh well. It's very sad they can't incorporate a simple thing like a card reader.

If they had ever make manufacturer drivers for them, instead of trusting Microsoft to do it, ...they could be installed in compatibility mode...but can't even do that.

I will always be looking for a solution, if anyone ever comes up with one. for now, I'm not removing it from the case, I don't anything else I want to stick in the slot, and it's got a couple USB ports that work...so....If you come along at a later and know of a solution to this issue, OR know of an internal one that works with Windows 10 x64 that I can purchase, let me know that also please. I'll keep it open forever, haha.

I did not find a link in there. I gave up. I even tried to shop for one that was compatible, and I'm convinced now that there are none. Just ordered a USB3 one that says works...Thanks anyway. sorry for sarcasm, I was very frustrated yesterday.

I will look, but actually it's crazy...after reading for hours and hours, and shopping for just as long, I have come to the conclusion that NO internal card readers are Windows 10 compatible. I've found a couple of USB, even with USB3 ports on them on Amazon that say they def are...so I just ordered one of those. (Ugreen) ...too much time spent already on a f'ing card reader. COME ON MICROSOFT WITH YOUR DAMN AMAZING OPERATING SYSTEM (???????!!!!!)

fyi, checked your useless link...I KNOW what the HCL is, what could have used was an actual link to it. (crap article...livewire, come on!!)

Error code 43, Device Descriptor Failed...and I have TRIED all of (6) fixes I've found, including uninstalling driver, re-installing driver, disabling fastboot, disabling USB selective suspend in power settings, etc etc. Device is a sony Multi-card reader MRW620-U1 ...and no disk or driver is required. It worked in Windows 7 ...so the driver "should" be there in 10, yes/no? Even though I'm an I.T. tech, drivers is not my strong suit. (and I DEFINITELY don't trust 3rd party driver software)  It's an old card reader...I've had it since Windows Vista...I may have to just get a new one...It was just in such good shape, and at the time supported every card under the sun, so I was kind of attached to it. But I may have to re-think that. :-(

I have a Sony MRW620-U1 card reader. Windows 10 won't detect my SD cards, and I have a device error, but no drivers are provided for it, and it worked fine in Windows 7. Would be grateful if anyone has knowledge on this subject.
