Answer 4

Hi Davis

Click your Start Button, type winver and hit Enter

On the resulting dialog, what version of Windows 10 are you running?

Open the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu)

Go to Update and Security - Windows Updates

What update(s) are showing as pending on your system?

In the meantime, download Windows Update Troubleshooter

Run that to see if that can resolve this for you . . .

Hi Davisfessenko,

We'll first try the Windows Update Troubleshooter

https://aka.ms/wudiag - download here, run this, and see if that can detect and fix your problem.

If no luck, we'll run a couple of scans to try to repair corrupt sys files.

Click start, type “cmd” - right click and run as admin - then copy and paste this:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

Hit enter, and wait for that to finish, and move onto the next command. Type(or copy and paste):

sfc /scannow

Hit enter, and after this finishes, reboot, and try windows updates again.

If still no luck, let's try to manually purge the Update Cache

click start and type cmd, right click and run as admin. Type:

“net stop wuauserv” and press Enter.

Click start, type control panel - file explorer options - click the view tab, and make sure “show hidden files...” is buttoned off.

Once done, navigate to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and delete the content of the Download folder.

Click start again, type cmd, right click and run as admin, type:

“net start wuauser” and hit enter.

After this, reboot and then try to run Windows updates again.

Let me know!
