Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

May I know what other troubleshooting steps have you already taken? This will help me avoid recommending them again.

Can I ask if you’ve already checked whether you have any third-party antivirus software running?

If you haven't tried anything yet please start by:

First, make sure there's no third-party antivirus software active that might be interfering with the update process:

Open the Windows Security app.
Click the "Settings" (gear icon) in the lower left.
Under Security Providers, click "Manage Providers".
Verify if Microsoft Defender Antivirus is the active antivirus and Windows Firewall is the firewall.
If not, please uninstall the third-party antivirus, restart your PC, and check again at Settings > Windows Update.

If issue persists, run again the Windows Update Troubleshooter from Get Help app:

Open Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters.
Find Windows Update and click Run. This will open the Get Help app.
Select "I can't download, install, or uninstall an update" and click "Yes".
This will automatically identify and address any errors and restart the update process. This step is purely automatic.
Please continue to follow the prompt if the issue persists.

If the issue persists, please provide more details by answering my questions.
