Is anyone else having problems with Windows 10 update?

For the week or so, after downloading and attempting to install, Update ends with "We couldn't complete the updates. Undoing changes."

Last successful update was 2021-08 update showing as successful on September 9, KB4023057.

The "undoing" runs for 20 minutes, then back to usual desktop. Frustrating.

All sorts of posts on the 'net about this problem, and all sorts of suggestions.

Thanks.

No problem here Tom on my windows machine, everything is working well. The latest update was downloaded and installed without a hitch.
 
No problem here, I'm running linux. (I also couldn't resist).
 
awwww ...

Tom, are you considering upgrading to Windows-11 next month? Supposed to be a free upgrade from 10 to11.
 
Hi Paul - I'll be moving to W-11, but probably not until later this year or early next year.

I'd move back to Linux, but I've got too many programs that won't run correctly on that platform. And I don't have the patience or time to search for Linux drivers which are often needed. Dual-boot is interesting, but isn't worth it for what I do with the laptop (browsing, audio, video, text, presentations, DOS apps, etc.). If I spent the day just browsing the web like many folks these days, Linux would be fine.

Come to think of it - remember when computers were only used for work? Lotus 1-2-3 and dBase were all we needed!

Thanks.

Very true. There was a time when I was proficient in Fortran, assembler and PL/I. Cobol wasn't quite at the same level since as a database guy I just wasn't coding all the time. Course now they have tools to do much of that, haven't written actual code in ages.
 
Back in the late 80s and early 90s, I did a lot of studying on C++, even wrote a few simple programs, very simple! Windows 3.1 was out and it was pretty cool! got rid of DOS, well partially, and kinda dropped the old programs and used windows instead, a lot of the old programs wouldn't run in windows anyway. Back then Linux was around but you had to have a programers mind to use it, I declined. Windows was easy and had a pretty screen so I kept it. :thumbsup2: Linux has come a long way since then and will run some more modern programs. So, it's a toss-up between the two, just depends on what you like. I have two almost identical laptops, one with windows, the other with Linux, the Linux machine runs a little faster. :cheers:
