  2. Windows 10 update stuck on endless "Retry"

    I am trying to install the latest Windows update

    ... and I am stuck in an endless Retry loop.

    Every time it tries to install this update, it fails with this message:

    I've rebooted and retried a bunch of times and get the same exact result over and over, stuck on Retry:

    I have no idea what to try, or even how to get out of this endless update "problems installing some updates, but we'll try again later" retry loop. Suggestions welcome!

    Disk partitions look like this, which I suspect may be the problem somehow:

    Updates based on the answers and comments:

    • This is a wired computer, no wifi, no battery
    • Plenty of free space on the boot C:\ drive, almost 200GB
    • There are no removable drives or USB keys attached
    • Does have multiple drives (boot SSD and two large media HDDs)
    • sfc /scannow reports good integrity
    • Machine is Haswell based, 8GB RAM, built in mid 2013

    I will hopefully be able to provide an answer with the full set of troubleshooting from someone at Microsoft who helpfully assisted me in case anyone else runs into this.

    all games crash!

    I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
    Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
    What happens?
    If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

    P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
    Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
    What X1800XT model do you own exactly?
