    I have Win 10 Pro : build 10240 - according to "About Windows".

    I keep getting an attempt to "update" to 10158 and of course, it fails.
    All I end up doing is restarting windows with no actual updates taking place.

    1.) How do I verify I have a complete and valid build 10240, other than checking "About Windows"?
    2.) Could I be stuck between updates?
    3.) If I have a valid build 10240 and all is well, how do I stop the update madness?

    thanks in advance
    Mark

    Hello,

    I'd ask in the Windows 10 Update forum on Microsoft Community.

    As the Microsoft Community is on a different platform, we cannot move the question for you.

    Once there, click on Participate near the top of the screen, and select 'Ask a Question' or 'Start a Discussion'

    Hello,

    Please note that this forum exists to discuss TechNet Wiki as a technology/application.
