Update Fixer

Although most of us don’t like to, it’s important to keep your Windows up to date. Not only does this ensure that various bugs are dealt with, but updates can also bring new features, improvements and fixes to various vulnerabilities that make your PC less secure.

Unfortunately, some users are unable to update the OS due to various reasons, sometimes out of their control. If you made sure that you didn’t turn the Windows Update off and you still can’t use the function, then you can consider using the help of a third-party tool dubbed Update Fixer.

The application is portable, so simply download and press the ‘Analyze’ button to get started. The analysis only takes a couple of seconds and focuses on reviewing your current Settings to make sure that the services responsible for the update are turned on.

The results are displayed as recommendations, so you can read and learn more about them before proceeding. The app also provides some optional suggestions that you can try out when everything else fails. After reviewing the recommendations list and marking the ones that you think can help solve your problem, you can hit the ‘Fix Windows Update’ button and wait for a few minutes until everything is resolved. You may need to reboot your PC for the changes to take effect.

It is important to note that the program just reviews the Settings and doesn’t make any modifications without your permission. Consequently, just to be on the safe side, it is recommended that you create a System Restore point so that you can redo any changes you make following the analysis.

Update Fixer is a lightweight tool that addresses users who are trying to update Windows, but for some reason, the function is inaccessible. If this is the case then, perhaps you can consider using the tool to determine the problem and fix it.
