Windows update won't update

Question

Hi everyone,

Could anyone please help me?

I clicked "retry all" a lot of times and in the end it still fails.

I found online to open Windows in safe mode, so I restart my pc into safe mode, tried to update there, but no luck.

I closed the safe mode and tried again, no luck.

What should I do?

Thank you

Love
