I am lacking a few updates on my PC and have been trying to update but keep receiving the message "windows update failed". I used the media creation tool to "upgrade this PC" and let it run all night. In the morning, I tried to run it and it came back with "Windows update failed". Went into group policy editor and enabled everything that has to do with updating....Still have not yet been able to get updated. Windows version 1709 OSbuild 16299.15.Also did a "clean" boot and tryed updating.If a solution is known, would appreciate it! Attached is a screenshot of the update screen.

Go to

https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/home.aspx

And in the search bar of the update catalog type in all the letters and numbers in the parenthesis then download and install each one that way

are the administer for the system?

Tried that....Came back that I selected the wrong version. I selected 64 bit because I have that. Should I select 32 bit?

should be the same  for windows 10
