windows update Unable to update windows, turn on windows defender or use my camera

[Rocgio40]

Hi, I recently bought a camera that doesn't need software apparently and it doesn't seem to work on any program i run, only the microphone. I checked if I needed to update windows but it keep loading and loading but nothing ever happens, also my windows defender is unable to turn on but I don't have any other antivirus on my PC. Im running on a windows 10 trial version and the version is 1809. Just came from microsoft tech support because about 30 people viewed but no one replied...

Specs:

•  Ryzen 5 2600 CPU
• 2x8Gb 3200mhz of ram
• GTX 1070 Aorus GPU 8Gb of VRAM

Camera: https://www.bol.com/nl/p/webcam-hd-nu-met-gratis-oortjes-computer-webcam-voor-pc-webcamera-computer-camera-werk-thuis/9300000000997436/?s2a=

 

Ik it looks dodgy af but it worked on my laptop but id like to use it on my desktop, it says in the instructions that it installs software automatically but it only displays its mic in the device manager, no camera to be found... 

 

Also, I tried windows update assistant and 5 minutes in im still at 0%

Since you're having problems with windows defender, try to run as administrator from a command line this:

sfc /scannow

 

It will search for corrupted files and tries to fix them

 

You can try to run this command aswell:

chkdsk c:

And see if errors are found

C:\Windows\system32>sfc /scannow

Beginning system scan.  This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 72% complete.

Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.

 

Thats what it said... nice

[narrdarr]

Run as admin

Cmd

Chkdsk /f/r

Restart system

Run as admin

Sfc /scannow again

 

See if that works

OP is using unactivated Windows. This violates Windows 10 EULA.

He's simply not going to get support from Microsoft, not a huge loss IMO

You should be able to do all of the above

 

Just try what @narrdarr said, just make sure to NOT use the /r argument if you're running the OS on ssd

I think the single read-write cycle on the ssd is worth the over all stability of the system. I still think /f/r is best.
