Hi,

Could you share the exact error message/error code you're encountering and specify which update you're trying to install? This helps me check what may be causing the issue and some solution to resolve it. In the meantime, go to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters and run Windows Update.

Answer 3

Follow these steps to fix common Windows Update retry/fail issues on Windows 11:

1. Run the Windows Update troubleshooter
   1. Select Start > Settings > System.
   2. Select Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters.
   3. Find Windows Update and select Run.
   4. Follow the on-screen instructions and then try Windows Update again.
2. Check internet connection
   1. Select Start > Settings > Network & Internet > Wi‑Fi.
   2. Make sure the device is connected and the connection is stable.
3. Make sure there is enough disk space
   • Windows may fail to update if storage is low.
   • Free space using the steps in Free up drive space in Windows, then try updating again.
4. Repair system files (if updates still fail)
   1. In the search box on the taskbar, type command prompt.
   2. Right‑click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
   3. Run this command and wait for it to complete:

            DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
      

   4. Then run:

            sfc /scannow
      

   5. When both finish, restart the PC and run Windows Update again.
5. If the update is stuck at 0% or 100%
   • Restart the PC.
   • Confirm internet connection as in step 2.
   • Confirm disk space as in step 3.

If updates still keep failing, follow the full guidance in Troubleshoot problems updating Windows, including performing a clean restart or, as a last resort, a clean installation.
