    Open the Settings App.

    Go to System - Recovery.

    Click the 'Reinstall Now' button in the 'Fix problems with Windows Uppdates ' section, then wait for that process to complete.

    This process is not like re-installing Windows and will not affect your files, settings or installed software.
