    Windows 10 Updates stuck "downloading" with no progress


    I am having an issue with a few Windows 10 updates just hanging 'downloading'. The percentage has not changed in hours.

    The updates in question are:

    Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - December 2019 (KB890830)
    Status: Downloading - 94%

    Security Update for Microsoft Excel 2016 (KB4484179) 64-Bit Edition
    Status: Downloading - 99%

    Update for Microsoft OneNote 2016 (KB4092450) 64-Bit Edition
    Status: Downloading - 35%

    Security Update for Microsoft Office 2016 (KB4475514) 64-Bit Edition
    Status: Downloading - 72%

    These percentages have not changed in several hours: There are about 50 other updates that are stuck at "Pending install" and I assume that they are waiting for these other ones to download

    The internet is fine on my computer. I can browse the web and do other things that require internet access.

    Does anybody know what the problem could be?

    Use Windows Update Troubleshooter.



    • Right-click on Start button and pick Settings
    • Go to Update & Security > Troubleshoot
    • Click on Windows Update and select Run the troubleshooter





    Download Windows updates manually.



    • Go to the official Microsoft update catalog;
    • Enter a specific update code, for example, KB4481031
    • Select the correct version and click Download
    • Click on the link and Windows will update your computer





    Resetting the Windows Update components can usually solve these types of issues.
