    Hi, thank you for that information. In this case, please let me know the exact Windows version and edition you have.

    To check:

    Go to Settings > System > About

    Under Windows specifications, please let me know the Windows version and edition you have.

    Is it Windows 10/11 Home or Pro, and is it on 22h2 or 25H2

    Hi, thank you for that information. If Windows is not activated, it can be one of the reasons why you cannot update your PC. Have you replaced any hardware before the PC was deactivated?

    For activation, kindly follow the steps provided in the link below:

    Hi, I'm Bernard, a fellow Windows user. I'm happy to help!

    Do you see any error code? And may I know what particular KB is failing to update?

    While waiting, I recommend recalibrating Windows Update components by following the steps below:

    Open Terminal (Admin) or Windows PowerShell(Admin) (Press Windows key + X then click Terminal(Admin))

    Copy each line of command, then press Enter (one line at a time)

    net stop bits
    net stop wuauserv
    net stop appidsvc
    net stop cryptsvc
    Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\*.*"
    rmdir %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution /S /Q
    rmdir %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 /S /Q
    regsvr32.exe /s atl.dll
    regsvr32.exe /s urlmon.dll
    regsvr32.exe /s mshtml.dll
    netsh winsock reset
    netsh winsock reset proxy
    net start bits
    net start wuauserv
    net start appidsvc
    net start cryptsvc
    
    

    -Once done, restart the device and check.

     

    Note: If the issue persists, a system repair on the affected device might be necessary. Please let me know the Windows version and edition you have.

    To check:

    Go to Settings > System > About

    Under Windows specifications, please let me know the Windows version and edition you have.
