Windows 10 Update and Activation
Are you facing the same issue in case you boot into the Safe Mode?
Reza_Ameri I have just attempted Restart with the Safe Mode.

Take a look at Troubleshoot problems updating Windows 10 (microsoft.com)
Open start and search for cmd or Command prompt and right click on it and run it as administrator and then type the following command:sfc /scannow
Press enter and let it runs and see what is the result.

Reza_Ameri I open start and from the list of applications look for Windows System folder and open it and find the Command prompt and right click on it, but I can't find the option to run as administrator.
I hold "Shift" and open start to the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options, then select Command prompt, type the command: sfc /scannow, but fail. Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.

Reza_Ameri My PC can't use Windows Search and hence I failed to run it as administrator. I previously learned to use the command: sfc /scannow, but haven't used it again after either Windows Search malfunctioning or disabled?
In order to make a trial, I shall be grateful if you can tell me how to fix up Windows Search. I had tried "Troubleshoot" but in vain.

In this case open start and from the list of applications look for Windows System folder and open it and find the Command Prompt and right click on it and run it as administrator.
Then run the command, it might resolve the issue with the search too.
