You could use WordPerfect X8 for WinTendo Trial Edition free for a 
period of time. Then you could print your WordPerfect/DOS documents 
using Window$. When the trial period expired, you just need to reset the 
registries and install it again. ;)

Start the Window$ Update when you are about to prepare your dinner. 
Leave it there running for 2-3 hours. Then the updates should be 
working. There is also something called Cumulative Update Rollup to try.

If all these tricks failed, you should just re-install Win 10 using the 
latest ISO (Creator Update) and apply all updates right after installation.

Download Windows 10 ISO without Media Creation Tool
(by changing browser user agent string to be non-Window$ as OS)

Run WinTendo inside a VM? :)
