There are a few ways to do this, and someone may chime in with a different stroke, but just stay with me and follow these instructions. Follow those instructions to get the installation media on a USB thumb drive or burned to a DVD. If not go to and click the Download tool now button. If you already have one, that saves some steps. The procedure requires a Media Creation Tool USB drive or DVD. First, you need to be logged in as a member of the Administrators group. Yes, that is not unfamiliar, and there are procedures to get your PC out of that hole. I would appreciate anything you can offer. I am hopeful you might have some other suggestions. The last step is the in-place upgrade, which is the only thing that gets a working WU, although without being able to pause updates and then resume updates successfully. Thus I was unable to complete 2 of the 6 steps in the walkthrough.

However, as I indicated in my original post, I am not able to install any standalone updates. Unfortunately, I had previously tried Windows guided walkthrough with no success. The error message said WU could not be start because it was disabled or there were no connected devices. All commands completed successfully this time with the exception of net start wuauserv. I next ran through step 5 in my original post again, this time with the correct rename commands.

Thus resetting bits to manual actually came before net start bits. The numbered steps in my original post were not quite listed in order performed.

Reset Windows Update components with following commands:ДЄs it turns out, BITS was reset to вЂњAutomatic (Delayed Start)вЂќ either when I ran: net start bits or did the in-place upgrade.

Disconnect USB storage devices вЂ“ no changes noted.

Go to Settings->Update & Security->Advanced options, uncheck вЂњGive me updates for other Microsoft products when I update WindowsвЂќ option вЂ“ no changes noted.

Disable, then uninstall all antivirus apps вЂ“ no changes noted.

Windows Update Troubleshooter вЂ“ no errors found.

Here is an abbreviated list of attempted fixes: So before I do another in-place upgrade, I thought I would post this sordid tale of woe, because as it stands now I will not be not be able to pause updates anymore. And the darned same thing happened with the same error as above. I resisted for a few days but then did the deed. But I had having these вЂњbadвЂќ thoughts that I should make sure I can un-pause. So this time I started with pausing for 7 days. This did work and Windows Update appeared to be working fine. So, the next step was to perform an in-place upgrade while keeping all my files and programs.

Nothing even came close to fixing Windows Update. I ended up compiling a long list of potential fixes, starting with the Windows Troubleshooter.

This led me on an extended search of the web based on the error message (both message number & text) and problem description. I then clicked on the Retry button but same error appeared. A little before time was up, I tried to un-pause Windows Update by clicking on вЂњCheck for updates.вЂќ I immediately received an error (0x80070422).

In accordance with AskWoody recommendations, I had paused all updates.
