Widow Update won't install.

Question

I can't install the following update, 2020-04 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1903 for x64-based Systems (KB4549951). Is it necessary to update it? if not how can stop it from bothering me or my pc?

Answer 1

Sometimes Windows update can get corrupted. I have had to reset it as follows:

1. Open a command prompt with Administrator privileges
2. Run the following to stop Windows Update services:

net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptSvc

net stop bits

net stop msiserver

3. Open File Explorer and go to c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution
4. Delete the contents in the c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder
5. Back in the command prompt start all the services again:

net start wuauserv

net start cryptSvc

net start bits

net start msiserver

Answer 2

Try to uninstall the last successful update before this issue and then try again to install the latest updates
