Windows Update Has Stopped Installing Updates

Hi, first check your disk.
Download and run Hard Disk Sentinel (trial) (assuming you have some sort of conventional disk with SMART parameters). Post the result.

Then check the file system
From an admin command prompt
[Windows key + X, click command prompt (admin)]
chkdsk C: /F
Your PC will need to restart.
Post back the result, which you can get after a restart as follows:
How do I see the results of a CHKDSK that ran on boot? - Ask Leo!
Make sure the result is clear or fixed- else do not proceed.

Then post a screenshot of Disk Management (Windows key + X, click Disk Management).

Is there sufficient free space on C: ?

From an admin command prompt run
SFC /scannow
This will take some time.
Report the result on the screen.
If this fails, stop here.

Have you tried doing updates with all unnecessary peripherals disconnected?

That's great- just carry on through the routine stuff until you hit a problem - or the end of that. Thanks.

Here's the next part for interest- complete previous first and post the result.

Update logs
In order to read the WindowsUpdate.log in Windows 10, you will need to use Windows PowerShell cmdlet to re-create the WindowsUpdate.log the way we normally view it. So open a PowerShell windows, type Get-WindowsUpdateLog and hit Enter.

You will be able to see the log/s. More on this can be found on TechNet.

the Windows Updater without success.

- I guess you mean the Windows update troubleshooter.
What did that report? Did it report anything fixed or that it couldn't fix? It should tell you something- could you run it again and post a screenshot?

Screenshots: please use the icon to the left of the Video Icon 'Insert Image'. Sort of square with little round things at the corners.

Have you made sure nothing unnecessary is connected- in particular wireless devices?You can also try Tweaking.com's repair tool (free) - observe the cautious steps and only select the relevant repair(s).

Are you using metered internet connections? (There's a setting in Settings).
Have you ever done anything to disable updates?
Please work through this and make sure nothing is set to disable Windows update

That list of logs tells me nothing, I'm afraid.

Accessing the logs in a readable way is non-trivial, I can only point you to information on how to do it- please don't post a huge amount of content here. This may not be something that helps you, I'm afraid
