    SELF SOLVED: Windows update page stuck searching


    Hey gang,

    SOLVED: So I just updated to Windows 10 20H2. After the restart. I went to check for any updates it just says Please wait... and seems stuck. I rebooted 3 times. and still doing it. And on top of that I hit the pause updates. Is there a way to fix it without formatting? NVM, I fixed it.

    Not exactly as simple as I thought it would be - but you found it while I was hunting for the answer which isn't in the FAQ

    Nope, I'm all fixed too after giving it quite some time to cycle through.
