It seems like you are encountering issues with a file that fails to update both individually and during shutdown on your Windows system. This persistent problem can indeed be frustrating. Let's explore some troubleshooting steps to address this ongoing situation:

Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. Check File Permissions:
   • Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to modify the file. Right-click on the file, go to Properties, and check the Security tab to verify your access rights.
   []Run System File Checker (SFC):
   • Use the System File Checker tool to scan and restore corrupted system files that might be affecting the update process.
     • Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run: sfc /scannow
     • Wait for the process to complete and follow any instructions provided.
   []Check for Disk Errors:
   • Use the built-in Windows tool to check for disk errors that could be causing issues.
     • Right-click on the drive containing the file, go to Properties, Tools, and click on "Check" under Error-checking.
   []Update Windows:
   • Ensure that your Windows system is up to date with the latest updates. Sometimes, outdated system files can cause issues.
     • Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for any available updates.
   []Safe Mode:
   • Try updating the file in Safe Mode to rule out any third-party software interference that might be causing the problem.
     • Restart your computer, press F8 (or Shift + F8 on newer systems) before Windows starts loading, and select Safe Mode.
   []Check for Software Conflicts:
   • Disable startup programs and non-Microsoft services using the System Configuration tool:
     • Press Windows key + R, type msconfig, go to the Startup tab, and disable all non-essential programs.
     • Restart your computer and try updating the file.
   []Create a New User Profile:
   • Create a new user account and see if you can update the file successfully from that account. This helps identify if the issue is specific to your user profile.
2. Backup and Restore:
   • If none of the above steps work, consider backing up the file, reinstalling Windows, and then restoring the file to see if the issue persists. These steps should help in diagnosing and potentially resolving the file update issues you are facing. If the problem persists, please provide more details about the file, any error messages you encounter, and any recent changes or updates to your system for further assistance.
