Hardware & Technical I know this is a dumb question, but I have to ask.

Open file explorer
Scroll down to "This PC", right-click on C disk, select "Properties"
On new pop-up, click "Disk Cleanup"
On new pop-up, click "Clean up system files" (You'll need to put in your administrator password - if you are running an admin account as your day-to-day account then BAD! Set up a new regular user account and use that...*)
After a bit of a wait the pop-up will reload, and there will be an option "Windows Update Cleanup" which is what you want.

* Running an admin account as your day-to-day account makes your machine vulnerable to malware, ransomwear & etc. Let's just say that I know of several major companies who've been badly hit by malware and this was a major contributing factor!

Thanks.

I run my admin as my main account. I like to live dangerously lazily.

Download Windows Media Creation Tool from Microsoft,the purpose is to create a boot drive.
It bothers me that Microsoft always forces any update to Windows 10.

Oh, I used to do this but then I saw up close what can happen as one of those "major companies" was my employer at the time... A big NOPE from me from now on!

Umm.... This thread is one and a half years old. I'm pretty sure Uni has fixed his computer by now in that time frame.

Now I feel stupid. Lol

I do wonder where people find these old threads from.
