Find command prompt, right click on it and run as admin. The copy and paste this command and press enter:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

The scan can take some time so don't switch off or anything like that.

Hi,
can you post what make and model your machine is and we could perhaps advise you further.

Hi,
not too sure on the model, it was a pre built system from ASUS. Pretty sure that my specs would meet the minimum required. It is like the windows store has frozen. I just cannot update. I have checked for all windows updates and all it says is one important update will be installed next scheduled maintenance.

Thanks for you help.
