Windows Update cannot be enabled

I think WindowsUpdate was interrupted on the way to completion.
Would you try to check the integrity of Windows system?

1. Open PowerShell with Administrator previledge

Right-click Windows icon on the lower-left of screen and click “Windows PowerShell (Admin)”.


Then PowerShell runs.

2. Check filesystem

In PowerShell, execute

chkdsk c: /f /x

Restart your PC. Disk check will start. I hope the success of the check.

3. Check the Integrity of Windows system

Open PowerShell (Admin) and execute

dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

If any errors happen, execute

dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

sfc /scannow

If done successfully, restart PC.
If any errors happen here, I think reinstall of Windows is needed.

4. Clear temporary files

Open PowerShell (Admin) and execute

cleanmgr /d C: /VERYLOWDISK

Then, restart PC.
NOTE: WindowsUpdate sometime uses a few tens gigabyte storage to work. Preserve enough free disk space.

After all above, try to enable WindowsUpdate.
(I recommend that “fast startup” mode is disabled. See Standby issue hi10 x - #33 by EndlessBiginner)
