Is it related to Windows 10 update?
My Windows 10 wasn't updating so I checked the UUID of BIOS which was all zeroes. Also, I used this code snippet to check it in Windows itself. wmic path win32_computersystemproduct get UUID. And I got UUID all zero: Is this the main reason for Windows 10 not updating? In the update section in settings I see this: An update is being prepared for your device, but it's not quite ready yet. We'll keep trying or you can try again now. I ran troubleshooter, but no improvement. It shows the problems are fixed (except for some), but in reality they are not.
