How to fix update and security crashing in Windows 10?

1. Check If There Are Any Corrupt Files Which Are Causing This Issue

Corrupt files looming in your PC or laptop could be a reason why update and security is not working in Windows 10. And, to make sure that such files are tracked and removed, you can run the SFC (System File Checker) tool. To do that –

1. Open your Windows Command Prompt as administrator. For this, type CMD and type Run as administrator option from the right-hand pane
2. When the Command Prompt window opens, type SFC /scannow
3. The scan will then start and may take some time to complete. So, could you wait till the time it is complete? The complete scans depend on the number of files that are there on your computer
4. If there are any issues, they’ll be resolved by the troubleshooter
5. Once the process is complete, restart the computer

2. Conduct A System Restore

Note: Create A Backup before proceeding

While conducting System Restore in point 2  and Downgrading Windows 10 in Point No. 5, you may lose your critical files, apps and other data. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you create a backup. Now, since you are already facing issues with Windows 10 update and security, we’d recommend that you download a backup utility such as Right Backup. It helps you create a backup of all your essential files folders and also lets you restore them manually, no matter what build of Windows 10 you are on.

With this tool, you can create a backup of your desired files, choose to schedule backup and then restore the backup to the desired point on your computer.

It is quite evident that you cannot access the Update and security. In that scenario, performing a system restore may be useful. To do this follow the steps below –

1. When your Windows 10 is booting, tap F11 repeatedly
2. This will bring you to Advanced Startup Options Menu
3. Select Troubleshoot from the given options
4. Choose to Reset your computer or access advanced options
5. Choose System Restore
6. Now follow the prompts appearing on the screen

3. Check If The Issue Gets Resolved On Other Accounts

Maybe the issue persists in the account you are logged in. So you can try creating a different account, log in through that account and check if the problem persists –

1. Press Windows + X keys and choose Settings from the pane
2. Go to Accounts and then select Family & other users
3. You can choose to add a family member or Add someone else to this PC option
4. Fill out the form and save changes
5. Try and sign in with newly created account and see if the issue has been resolved or not.

How to correct your Microsoft account settings are out of date?

6 Common Windows 10 problems and how to fix them?

 1. PC boots slowly

There are a number of reasons Windows 10 might be booting slowly. The first two things to check are that Windows is up to date and hasn’t been infected with malware.

To check for malware:

• Press the Windows key and “I”
• Choose Update & Security
• Select Windows Defender
• Click on Open Windows Defender
• Press Full Scan and the Scan now 

Once it’s finished scanning, follow the on-screen instructions.

To check for updates to Windows, go to Updates & Security and the select the option to either check for updates or install available updates.

2. Files open in the wrong application

Most of us double-click a file to open it, but if the file association in Windows is broken, as it often is, it won’t open in the app you expect it to. You can fix that by clicking on the Start menu and choosing Settings. Click on the System tab and look for the category labelled “default apps.” In there, you can choose what app opens each type of file and specify an app for different file extensions.

3. Windows uses 4G data when you don’t want it to

If you’re using a personal hot spot to connect to the internet over 4G, the last thing you want is for background processes and downloads to eat up your bandwidth. 

• Click on the Start menu and choose Settings
• Click Network & Internet
• Select Wi-Fi, then Advanced Options
• Switch “Set as metered connection” to the ON position

4. You can’t play DVD movies

Windows 10 doesn’t have its own built-in DVD player anymore. Probably because Microsoft assumes everyone watches movies online. You can pay to download a DVD player from Microsoft, but a better idea is to download VLC instead. It’s free and will play your DVDs.

5. Your privacy settings aren’t right for you

The default privacy settings in Windows 10 might be fine for many people, but for lots of others, they’re likely to allow too much access to personal data. Here’s how to change them.

• Go to Settings from the Start menu
• Choose Privacy
• Go through each section on the left hand side in turn (General, location, camera, microphone, etc)
• Review the settings in each section and use the toggle switches to adjust them to suit your preference

6. System Restore has gone missing

System restore hasn’t disappeared in Windows 20, but it is turned off by default, for reasons best known to Microsoft. To turn it on, do the following:

• Click on the Start menu and type ‘system restore’ into the search box
• Select Create a restore point
• When you see the System Properties panel, click on the System Protection tab
• Make sure your C: drive is selected and press Configure
• Click the radio button next to Turn on system protection
• Use the slider to specify how much of your hard drive to use for restore points — 5-10% should do it

Common Windows 10 problems and How to fix them

 

1. Update Stuck Downloading or Won't Install

Windows 10 automatically updates its packages if you have this option turned on. Sometimes, updates get pushed altogether, so it may cause errors in download or installation. This is especially true if your connection is faulty. If the Windows Auto Update File won't download or install, likely, the file is already corrupted. Here is how you can solve this:

• Press Win + R to open Run.
• Type C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and then select OK.
• Delete all the files contained in the folder but not the folder itself.
• Restart your PC.

Note: if some files don't get deleted, just boot into safe mode and start the process.

2. Battery Draining Too Quickly

If you have newly upgraded to Windows 10, chances are that the new version has affected battery life. You can solve this by making sure your drivers are up to date so that they don't strain with the new updates. You can also turn off some features you don't need, such as Cortana. Go to Search, type Cortana, and disable Let Cortana respond to Hey Cortana.

Automatic Windows Update may also take a toll on the battery. You can turn it off by going to Update and Security, then Windows Update. Select Advanced Options and toggle Off for Choose how updates are delivered.

3. Default App Choices Have Changed

Windows 10 works funny sometimes, especially when it cannot remember the default apps you set.

• Press Win + I and choose System.
• From the left side pane, select Default apps.
• Choose the specific app of your choice to open files such as photos, videos, documents, etc.

4. Wi-Fi Connection Not Discoverable

Before anything else, check to see if the VPN software you installed is not yet compatible with the new OS. If this isn't the case, you can follow these steps instead:

• Press Win + X and open Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type in "reg delete HKCR\CLSID\{988248f3-alad-4 netcfg -v -u dni_dne"

If this step doesn't work either, the problem might be on the drivers.

• Open Device Manager
• Expand on Network adapters. Right-click the available wireless adapter and choose Update Driver Software.

5. Touchpad Not Working

On your keyboard's settings, you can check if the touchpad has a toggle on/off option. If it does not have one, follow these:

• First, press Win + I and click on Devices.
• Choose Mouse & Touchpad, then select Additional mouse options.
• On the new window that opens, choose the Device Settings tab and then Devices.
• Select your specific touchpad and Enable it if it isn't yet.
• You can also check and update the driver by right-clicking on the touchpad and choosing Update Driver Software.

6. Can't Install or Update Store Apps

If your PC applications cannot install or update automatically, you can try updating your Microsoft Store. In the Store, open settings and then click Download and updates> Get updates. If this does not work, try this other method:

• Open Start and go to Settings.
• Find the Updates & Security
• Click on Troubleshoot and then select Windows Store Apps.
• Windows will then automatically find and repair the store app that cannot update or install.

7. Microsoft Office Files Don't Open

• Press Win + X and choose Command Prompt (Admin).
• On the command line, input: icacls "%programfiles%\Microsoft Office <n> (note: replace "<n>" with version number)" /grant *S-1-<n>-2-1: (OI) (CI) RX
• Hit Enter This should help you open the office files.
• You can also repair Office installation by finding Office in Programs & Features. Right-click on Office and select Online Repair.

8. Flickering or Flashing Screen

This problem may be caused by an incompatible display driver, or some other application like an antivirus, iCloud or IDT Audio. To fix this, just update the specific driver by selecting in Device Manager. You may also uninstall and then reinstall after to fix any corrupted or missing files in the installation.

9. Fixing problems with Bluetooth connectivity

• Head over to Device Manager.
• Expand on the Bluetooth Driver, right-click, and select Update Driver.
• Wait for the update to download and complete, then restart.

10. Fixing black screen errors

Black Screen Errors can be caused by different reasons, but it is most likely because of errors in plugged in external devices, or incompatibility issues with Windows 10.

• Shut down and then restart your PC, then hold down the Shift key as soon as it boots to enter the Safe Mode.
• Wait for the PC to start in Safe Mode and this should solve the black screen.
