when i try to update in windows 10 this is what i get (see title). what should i do?
it's really annoying.
Looks like a buggy update:
http://www.infoworld.com/article/29...Not too handy as MS now foist updates on Windows 10, buggy or not. They must be out of their minds.
There are unofficial ways to stop updates but I can't vouch for them - someone else might.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks

Sad to add - many well-known experts of Windows across the internet now rate this Cumulative update as more of a joke than a practical fix - http://www.computerworld.com/articl...
At my end:
1) One of the PCs I updated without waiting for Microsoft permission is still asking me to activate my copy of Windows 10 even after I successfully installed KB3081424 with no issues.
2) I also installed the same cumulative update on a new OEM Dell Windows 10 installed with no issues.
Maybe I am just lucky .....

thank you for letting me know that i'm not the only one with this :)
poor microsoft.
Go to Start Start button icon, then select Settings > Update & security > Activation, and then select Activate Windows to try and manually activate Windows. If that doesn't work, you might need to reset your PC.
I have had beaucoup issues with W10 after upgrading my PCs; did the upgrade (unfortunately), and did the refresh, then a reset on all of them due to issue with black screen, and programs not reloading, etc. So I rolled up my sleeves and pursued the clean install route. Everything loaded and no issues after two weeks; latest cumulative update included. Following three items is what I used successfully (both 64-0bit/32-bit installs included): Belarc Advisor: A must have for rebuild; been using it for years:
http://www.belarc.com/free_download...Instructions on doing a W10 clean install (must be performed after a W10 upgrade). These instructions were spot on; no issues

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sof...Here is a snippet on how to get to your bios if changes needed:
-- disable fast boot
Go to 'Control Panel -> 'Power Options' -> from the left hand column select 'What the Power Buttons Do' -> at the top of the page select 'Change Settings that are currently unavailable' -> scroll all of the way to the bottom and uncheck 'Turn on Fast Startup (Recommended)'. Then click 'Save Changes'.My W10 re-activated with no issues after the clean install. If there was ever a time to do a clean install, this would be it. If I have helped one person enjoy their PC again, then I will be happy.
