SOLVED Windows 10 always updating/unable to properly update

[TheDarkHorse]

Hello.

My Windows 10 Home won't stop updating the same things (or atleast always wants to update these things)...

I'll restart the computer and they'll still be in the update history as (Requires a restart to finish installing)...

They are:

1. Security Update for Adobe Flash Player for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x86-based Systems (KB4093110)

2. Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709for x86-based Systems (KB4088776)

3. Security Update for Adobe Flash Player (Windows 10 Version 1709)for x86-based Systems (KB4088785).

And most recently (yesterday)
4. Security Update for Windows (KB4088776).

I've tried uninstalling these updates (doesn't work, they just come up again) as well as tracking them down and manually installing them...

Whenever I go to shut down - always says, "update and shut down".

I've considered a reset as an option -but I thought I'd ask around first.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks very much,
Stuart

Hi TheDarkHorse,

there seem to be problems with W10 at the mo, I would run the upgrade tool (I know it sounds strange but it fixed a few things for me!).

Go to the link and download the tool (Update now) and select "Upgrade this PC now":
