Good to see you in Microsoft Community.

Firstly, could you let me know the specific system version? You can check it by pressing the Win key + R key, and typing "winver", then press Enter, please take a screenshot/photo of it, and only send the relevant information without PII in the next reply.

The error message "The Remote Procedure Call has stopped." means that The Remote Procedure Call related services were not started as expected. You can start them by the stpes below. Run Command Prompt as an administrator ("Win" logo key + "Q" to open Search box*, type"Command Prompt", select "Run as administrator"), and copy and paste the following commands into the* Command Prompt and press Enter to run one by one.

net stop RpcSs & net start RpcSs

Additionally, the service is related Windows Update, and you can try the steps below.

 When I tried to run "net stop RpcSs & net start RpcSs" It said "The requested pause, continue, or stop is not valid for this service"  And when I tried to do the Windows Update troubleshooter It says "An error occurred while troubleshooting" I have not tried to clean the system updates cache yet.[![](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/470dfdd6-7675-4e17-b17f-9123404bbbfe?platform=QnA"https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/58f2cddb-fbd7-41d3-bda8-bee75fcbac63?platform=QnA" title="filestore.community.support.microsoft.com" rel="ugc nofollow">

Answer 5

Please try the steps to clean the Windows update cache as this process involves restarting Windows update-related services. Based on the results from the Windows update troubleshooting you provided, it does seem that there are issues with Windows Update itself, and clearing the update cache and restarting related services is one of the most effective troubleshooting methods.

Additionally, performing an in-place upgrade of the system is also a good option.

You may in-place upgrade the system by the steps below.

• Please rest assured that the in-place upgrade the system will theoretically not affect your data and applications (you need to choose to keep files and applications in the next steps), just update all the system files are the latest.
• If you have important data, you may make additional backups to prevent accidental loss of your data. Also make sure there is enough free space in the system partition, at least 40GB.

1. Download Windows 11 ISO file Visit Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com) and click "Download Now" under “Create Windows 11 Installation Media” to download MCT (Media Creation Tool). Then run the program, select "Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD or ISO file) for another PC”, and then choose Language, Version, Architecture (if you are not sure about these, choose "Use the recommended options for this PC"), then select "ISO file" in the "Select Media to Use" interface, and then a Windows ISO file will be downloaded to your disk (about 4-5GB in size, it is recommended that you choose a non-system disk).
2. In-place upgrade the system After the download is completed, double-click the ISO file, double-click to run "setup.exe" in the open file explorer, and select "Change how Windows Installer downloads updates" > "Download updates, drivers and optional features", Select "Keep personal files and apps" after accepting the terms of the agreement, then click "Next" > "Install". Then the system will reboot a few times, and then enter the welcome screen. Disclaimer*: Let’s try performing an in-place install or in-place upgrade which will refresh your Windows files and operating system without removing files or applications. That being said, we always recommend that if you have important data, you should back it up before making large system changes. If you want to back up your data first, please do so. Once you are done backing up, you can follow the steps in the following guides:How to run In-place upgrade in Windows 11 - Microsoft Community***
