I'm running Windows 10 Pro, 1903
The error depends on the update trying to be applied.
For example:
KB4497165 fails with; 0x800706ba
KB4556799 fails with: 0x800706be
I tried downloading the updates directly from the windows update catalog
(e.g. Microsoft Update Catalog)
But those installations failed to installed without giving a reason.
Running the windows update trobleshooter results in:
Is there a troubleshooter troubleshooter? (meta-troubleshooter)
Trying to update to 1909 also fails via Windows Update
Downloading the update program directly and trying to run it: (C:\Windows10Upgrade\Windows10UpgraderApp.exe)
looks like its working until 90+% and then it stalls.
I let it sit for a over 48 hours before powering off, at which point my old installation was restored.
I recently tried to update the video driver and it failed, leaving me with no accelerated video.
I was able to fix this problem by doing a System Restore to a week ago. (video driver install fail -- the other problems persist)
sfc /scannow (or /verify) completes with:
As far as I can tell, the output of CBS.log is clean (no [SR] lines show any errors)
If I run:
None of them show any problems.
Possibly related: I cannot run the system management console anymore (for example device manager, event viewer)
I get a dialog stating that:
This app has been blocked your your protection.
An administrator has blocked you from running this app.
For more information contact the administrator.
I am the administrator -- I made no such change.
I can get around the problem by either running mmc from an admin command prompt, or other similar.
None of my other Windows computers in my house have this restriction.
I suppose I could give in and reinstall windows -- I'd rather not, it'll take days to reinstall all the software and find all the drivers.
(The event log goes back 10 years -- maybe it's time to reinstall?)
Once I can run the event viewer, I see that there are repeated notifications that the "Cryptographic Services service" has terminated unexpectedly" along with the number of times it did so: (e.g. 88 times)
