Can't install any version of Visual Studio on win 10 - visual-studio

So as I mentioned, I'm running windows 10.
When I first installed windows 10, visual studio community 2015 installed just fine. Then the licence expired so I wanted to reinstall it.
The installation just stops randomly... that it is stuck one one thing..
I also spotted a little connection between the bar saying 'Acquiring' and the second bar.. when the first bar is full, the installation gets stuck on installation of one current installing thing.
I don't know how to explain it though. It just never happened to me.
A screenshot wouldn't help and a video would be too long and boring.
I can't really tell if it is installing anything or not... I once let it install whole one day and it was stuck at the same thing that it was when I left home...
Is there any good explaination and or fix for that?

I finally found the solution for this problem!
I had to disable Windows Defender, because it was blocking the installation..
It was keeping the installation from running msi files.
To disable Windows Defender, follow the steps on this page: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5918-windows-defender-turn-off-windows-10-a.html
Now the installation doesn't stop/isn't stuck on installing one thing :).
I hope I also helped the others that had the same problem before!

IIS Manager is installed but shows empty page

I hope this is the right place to ask. I was thinking serverfault might not be correct, since the computer in question is not a server. Feel free to migrate if StackOverflow is not right.
I usually install IIS on servers but have installed it on Workstations before. I actually had the same problem with another machine of the same model a few weeks ago but can't remember how I resolved it. I must have installed additional features or run some powershell-command that did not resolve the issue on this machine.
I installed IIS the correct way using the Windows Features, as described in the answers to this question. I've actually removed and reinstalled it since then, but it hasn't resolved my problem.
The WWW publishing service is running and I can open the IIS Manager, but it's completely empty, unlike here where the IIS Manager at least shows the local computer
When I type localhost into a browser I don't see the IIS Startpage, I get the error ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
You can see that all the required checkboxes are checked:
And the service seems to be running.
I've since tried installing IIS using
DISM:
Powershell:
And I checked the status using the iisreset command which was mentioned in the comments here (second linked question upstairs):
It restarts without any error and says everything is working fine.
Has anyone ever encountered this before or might know what I could try to get IIS actually working?
Edit:
I just noticed, while trying to uninstall IIS, that I can not uninstall it. I used Windows-Features and confirmed to reboot when prompted, but while rebooting Windows does a rollback and IIS is still available. So I can't even uninstall it.
Also just found this similar quesion on SuperUser. I'm still trying some suggestions there. So far to no avail.
Thanks for the comments.
I was on vacation, but a colleague was able to fix the problem.
Unfortunately, the solution was to reset Windows 11. He was then able to install IIS through Windows Features and it worked.
No idea why it didn't work in the first place, or why it got to this unrecoverable state. But now everything is fine.

Unable to install KB3012973 Windows Update through scripts

I've been trying to update my server (Windows 10 Pro / 1903 Version) to version 2004 (KB3012973) through various Powershell scripts, but they all seem to apply no changes, at all, after restarting the machine.
Quite important to mention, I was successfully able to install previous updates through these scripts without any errors.
So, let me walk you through the process (PSWindowsUpdate):
First, looking for updates and using 'Install-WindowsUpdate' to install them all:
Rebooting the machine through either the script or manually by pressing on the 'Restart' button in the Start menu.
Letting the machine restart.... Then going into the Windows Update menu:
And viola! After restart, the windows version is just the same as it was before.
I have also tried running the script from the 'Searching, Downloading, and Installing Updates' tutorial by Microsoft, with no luck, as it seems.
I'd also like to note that oddly the update can be installed manually, by pressing the 'Install Now' button, which is sadly not what I'm looking for. As mentioned, the scripts have worked smoothly for previous updates.
Any help would be truly greatly appreciated!

Windows network access and security log

I need some help on something... today I figured out that my Visual Studio was uninstalled from my pc.... this is a corporative computer, and I have reasons to thing that one of the guys of networking uninstalled it using some kind of network organization tool or something like that, that kind of things in corporations that they install and uninstall things in the background of your computer... after take a look to my event viewer, it seems VS was uninstalled about a week ago at 11:42 pm saying "Windows installer removed the product VS" blabla, I know I dont remove that, so must be some kind of background operation.... Is there any way to check if my software was removed for someone else? thanks a lot
There is the event viewer message includes User field. This says you who do that.

Adding SDK to VS 2005

This may be trip down memory lane. I have been asked to fix some code that was written 8 years ago. That in itself is OK. I have a Win 7 64 bit PC. As I now use VS2012 I had to install 2005 luckily had a copy still. Then all the updates from MS so that it will work with Win 7 64 bit. Create a dummy MFC app to make sure it all works. So far so good. Next I get the SDK to target the code to it is running on a Moxa UC7124 ARM4i. I get UC712XCE_SDK_V2.0.msi and install it.
Now the problem starts. I cannot see the Moxa platform inside VS2005. If I load the solution it comes up with the platform but skips compile. My guess is that VS cannot find the SDK. I have tried many things but obviously not the correct thing yet, I checked for environment variables and find none, registry has no entries.
I look inside Tools | Options under Projects and Solutions VC++ directories but cannot find the platform I only get Win32. So for the first time in a while at the moment I am lost. Has anyone got any ideas why I cannot get the Moxa SDK visible inside VS2005?
After several days progress has been made ....... but not yet fully working. My view was that there must be some permissions issue in Win 7 when trying to load older SDK's, so I uninstalled the SDK first. Next I right click on the SDK's msi and in security tick "run as compatibility" and choose "Previous version of Windows". I can now target my solution correctly. So this part appears to be working now and next I have to fix all the compile/linking issues. Still got a big hill to climb but fingers crossed when I get to deploy this that it is all going to work OK.

How to solve Xcode's crash?

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Xcode so it should behave normally but it keep open up with my last project and crash. No matter how many times i uninstall and reinstall. Is there a fix for this?? Please help i need to get this thing fix soon.
At the time of crash it says internal logic error. I read somewhere that i should restart my system after installing the new Xcode of it will crash again but as it gets installed it reopen automatically.
Thanks,
This might not be the optimal solution but I have talked to other people who have had problems like this and the solution they ended up doing was to create a new user on the Macintosh where they were having trouble and then Xcode worked perfectly fine.
Try that and see if you have any good luck.
I suspect there's some cached settings that aren't being cleared out with uninstalls & reinstalls.
