Uggh. Got stuck at 10041 on WIndows 10, didn’t really notice it seemed to be working ok, but then noticed that the updates seemed to be stuck, as I had missed out on 10049. Now the latest update 10061. So I went to the insiders forum at: https://bit.ly/win10updatefix.
It’s a pretty simple fix, just run the command prompt and run a few statements. Fixed my Lenovo Twist without a hitch.
Here is the command line instructions:
1. Open a Command Prompt (Run as Administrator)
2. Type: cd %windir% and press the Enter key.
3. Type: net stop wuauserv and press the Enter key
4. Type: ren softwaredistribution softwaredistribution.old and press the Enter key.
5. [ Note: if you get an error message, ignore and type the above again and press Enter ]
6. Type: net start wuauserv and press the Enter key.
7. Type: Exit and press Enter, then go back and check for Windows Updates again
