Today, I started getting messages that my build 14342 is out of date and will soon stop working.
Of course, I got on the case with Windows update. I found that quite a number of auto updates had failed, and decided it was due to my using a metered connection setup (even though I am not metered, this was to stop stuff going on in the background and potentially slowing things down) - so I switched that off and had another go. Unsuccessful. Error 0x8020000f all updates.
After googling around, I tried
1) reinstalling build 14342, with updates. This reinstalled and remained at 14342, updates not possible.
2) turned off all AV (defender and Malwarebytes)
3) sfc /scannow (found and fixed some corruptions, but no effect on this)
4) ran the troubleshooter for Updater, reports all is well.
5) tried reinstalling Windows 10 (not insider) but this says it cannot do a reset keeping apps and data, since a different build is detected.
This is an unusual situation, since I loaded Insider in good faith, but unless I can solve this, I will not be able to run my computer soon. Yes, I can reinstall windows, but it means reinstalling all my apps and save and restore of all my personal files.
