    Hi,

    Errors during Windows Update installation are usually occurring due to broken Windows Update components. For us to provide an accurate solution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

    • Which build, version and edition of Windows is installed on your computer?
    • What changes have you made to your computer before this issue occurred?

    In the meantime, we suggest running the automated troubleshooter for Windows Update errors. This tool can scan and repair damaged Windows Update components. Visit this link, download the troubleshooter for the version of Windows you are using and then follow the prompts to successfully run the tool.

    After running the troubleshooter, it will be best to perform a clean boot before running and installing Windows Update to avoid software conflicts.

    We are looking forward to your response.
