My windows 10 update cannot proceed for unknown reasons. I have also tried using the automatic updater in the microsoft website but it did not solve my issue either. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this error? Thank you.

    Hi, I'm Robinson, an Independent Advisor and a Windows user like you.

    An 0x8007045d error code occurs when a computer has difficulty accessing or reading the required files during a process. This can be caused by a corrupt Windows registry, corrupt system or program files, an incomplete file download, faulty memory modules, or a damaged storage device such as an external hard drive, USB drive, CD, or DVD.

    Check if doesn't any corrupt file on Windows.

    1-Right-Click on Start then click Windows PowerShell(admin)

    2-Type these commands.

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and press [Enter]

    sfc /scannow and press [Enter]

    Reset the Windows update components.

    1-Press Start>Windows System> Command Prompt right-click run as admin and type these commands.

    net stop wuauserv and press [Enter]

    net stop cryptSvc and press [Enter]

    net stop bits and press [Enter]

    ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old and press [Enter]

    ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old and press [Enter]

    The Avast can be the cause of the problem. Uninstall the Avast using this removal tool then try to update again.
