[What is the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)? | Malwarebytes

I’ve tried using the Windows Update Assistant, which seems to download the update successfully, but the BSOD happens during the installation. Each time I try again, the download happens all over again before starting the actual update. Is it possible to access the downloaded files so that the update can be started immediately, hopefully before the BSOD kicks in? I’m hoping the new version will cure the BSOD problem. We suggest running the Windows Update Troubleshooter.

After the troubleshooter is done, try running Windows Update again and install any available updates. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn’t help. Thanks for your feedback. If so, I’ve been using that unsuccessfully. I tried to download the Troubleshooter, but the laptop didn’t download it – nothing happened at all when I clicked the link, which is typical of the laptop’s erratic behaviour recently.

It did download on my desktop PC, however, but I wonder whether I can simply copy the file wu The Windows Update Assistant downloads and starts the installation of the latest version of Windows 10, while Windows Update Troubleshooter is a guided walk-through which provides steps to fix problems with Windows Updates. You can either download the wu Use whichever you prefer or have access to.

After running the troubleshooter, try the update again. If it fails, take note of the error message and get back to us. You may also refer to the article below on how to troubleshoot the blue screen error. Thanks very much for your suggestions. I’m still struggling and not sure whether I’m making any progress at all.

I copied the wu When I ran it, it said I should do so in an Administrator account. I thought I had one but couldn’t remember how to find it, but a Google search told me how to set it up via a cmd window. That worked OK, but the Admin account seemed to know I had had one previously possibly from W7 days before W10 started and accepted the password I gave it a guess! Having overcome that hurdle, I ran wu I called up the Windows Update Assistant to do that, and all seemed to be going well at first.

Several downloads arrived and were checked before the installation itself began. I ran through the same process again, this time connecting to the router directly instead of via WiFi. This time I was advised to restart after the problems had been fixed, and then reboot and start the update again. I have yet to try your “Troubleshoot Blue Screen Errors”, and will post the results when I have done so. I’ve been going through the enormous list of devices shown in Device Manager, checking for updates.

None found so far, but I came across this:. Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source.

Code It too says it is up to date, but clearly something is wrong. Any ideas? Kindly check for the particular update that Windows have been trying to install. Then go to the Windows Update History Page and manually download the needed update from there and not through the Windows Update within your operating system. Thanks again Joanna. Instead I found amongst other things “Windows Update”, which produced the following:.

Below that is a link to “Update history” which produced a very long list of, mostly though not entirely, failed updates, including KB many times and KB, also many times. A few others have evidently been successfully installed.

Interestingly, this tells me that I am updating to version from my current version which is These numbers don’t seem to tie up and I find them a trifle confusing. We just wanted to check if you’re able to try our suggestion and if you’re still experiencing this update issues with B and KB I decided that I was fighting on too many fronts with my laptop, which was misbehaving in numerous ways, so the best thing to do was to perform a clean Windows 10 reinstall.

I had been resisting going down that route, but in the end it seemed the only thing to do, so I did, which has solved all of the problems! Choose where you want to search below Search Search the Community.
