    Hello, I’m Virginia an independent advisor with 20 years of expertise in fixing my own & friends’ PC problems.

    Which Windows 10 build are you running - 1909, 2004, 20H2 or 21H1?

    Do you run any VPN? If so disable this or set your geographical location to the correct area & try updating again.

    Do you use a third party antivirus software? If so try disabling this.

    Have you tried resetting the update components?

    Open cmd prompt/powershell with admin & enter:

    Net Stop bits

    Net Stop wuauserv

    Net Stop appidsvc

    Net Stop cryptsvc

    Ren %Systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore DataStore.bak

    Ren %Systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\Download Download.bak

    Ren %Systemroot%\System32\catroot2 catroot2.bak

    Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr*.dat"

    Net Start bits

    Net Start wuauserv

    Net Start appidsvc

    Net Start cryptsvc

    Restart the PC & try updating again.

    And/or:

    Search for services.msc & find Windows Update & ensure it is set to Automatic.
