"NO JOY" Posted 2026-01-24
Pros: I was really hoping this app could fix a Windows 10 system which has refused to update since it was new. I'm a software engineer, and I have at least 100 hours into fixing this dysfunctionality over more than 5 years. Microsoft ought to produce such a tool, because they can put their hands on anything and everything they ought to need to repair their fragile update wares.
Cons: The first time I ran the tool, I believe it found 3 "recommended fixes" and 8 "optional fixes." You then click a "Fix Windows Update" button; and the machine is busy for awhile. Then it asks you to reboot the machine. When the machine reboots, a command window opens with a message that it's busy fixing the machine... everything is alright... the window will automatically close when it's finished. There's no failure error messages. It informs you, "This will take a few minutes." There's no progress indicator mechanism at all.
Anyway, two-and-a-half hours later, the window still hadn't closed. Figuring the process must have crashed or run into a forbidding obstruction. I have run it several times since. It now finds 2 recommended fixes and 9 optional. I have selected all every try; with the same result each time.Overall: Fine idea, if you can produce a ware that actually works. No logs are produced for trouble-shooting. You have no idea what its hangup is. But it's too bad it can't fix my machine. Best of luck.
