I cannot run Windows Update on my computer

Question

When I try to run Windows Update on my laptop, I get an error message that says "Something went wrong, try to reopen settings later" I've never been able to run Update on this machine properly since I bought it. Otherwise, everything else seems to run just fine.

Answer 1

Hi, good day!

Make sure Windows Update, Background Intelligent Transfer services and App Readiness Service are available and running.

Press Windows key+R to open Run then type: services.msc

Press Enter to open Services app

Double-click Background Intelligent Transfer Service.

If the Startup status lists Stopped, click Start and then click OK. Make sure to set its start type to Manual. If the status is Running, right click then select Restart

Do the same with Windows Update and App Readiness services

Close Services console then restart your computer

I look forward to receiving your update and I'm willing to collaborate with you till we resolve the issue. Do keep me informed by clicking "Add comment" below.
