When i try to update it downloads completely and when i restart my computer it gets to around 9% done and then has a error saying something like "Something Went Wrong... Undoing Changes Now" Then it does that like 3 times then reboots with the update not completed and when i try again it says there was error 0x80071a2d. Also my Bluetooth is glitching out like refreshing every 1 second so nothing works.

    Hi, and thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today.

    I understand the issue you have, there is nothing to worry I am here to help, let us sort out the update first as it should also address the issue with your Bluetooth, in addition, this issue occurs due to many factors like third-party anti-virus or there is a miscalibration on the Windows update, for us to sort out the problem, kindly follow the steps below:

    Reset Windows update components:

    Open Powershell with Admin or CMD with Admin (Press Windows key + X then click Windows Powershell(Admin))

    Copy each line of command to Powershell then press enter (one line at a time)

    net stop bits

    net stop wuauserv

    net stop appidsvc

    net stop cryptsvc

    Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\*.*"

    rmdir %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution /S /Q

    rmdir %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 /S /Q

    regsvr32.exe /s atl.dll

    regsvr32.exe /s urlmon.dll

    regsvr32.exe /s mshtml.dll

    netsh winsock reset

    netsh winsock reset proxy

    net start bits

    net start wuauserv

    net start appidsvc

    net start cryptsvc

    -Once done restart the device and check.

    If none will work from the above solution, I suggest doing an in-place upgrade wherein it will upgrade the device to the latest version and repair all issues without deleting any files.

    Kindly follow the steps from this link:

    Let me know how it goes and I hope that helps.

    Bernard

    Perform an In-place Upgrade:

    Note: If a third-party antivirus program is installed, uninstall it first and if the manufacturer offers a removal tool, use it as well before you perform the In-place Upgrade.
