    Windows Update Stuck


    Updating my laptop which I haven't used for 6 months.
    I go to Settings, Update and Security, and there are a list of 10 updates, 2 of which say pending install, the others say pending download. Left laptop on overnight and still saying the same this morning.
    Ran Windows Troubleshooting Updates twice, both times found no problem.
    Have good Wi-Fi signal. Have re-booted several times. Now stuck. Can you please suggest how I get round this please.

    Windows Update problem


    Sorry guys, much too hasty with my request for help. Found this on the internet:

    net stop wuauserv
    net stop cryptSvc
    net stop bits
    net stop msiserver
    ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
    ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old
    net start wuauserv
    net start cryptSvc
    net start bits
    net start msiserver
    Reboot

    All working fine on laptop now. Apologies again.

    Glad it was that simple. For reference: the tutorial section here is full of useful info and some tools:
    Reset Windows Update in Windows 10 | Tutorials

    should do the above and more... and don't forget the built-in Windows update troubleshooter:
    Troubleshoot Problems in Windows 10 with Troubleshooters | Tutorials
    and search for
    Troubleshoot
    in Settings.
