Hello,

Please run Windows Update troubleshooter from Settings app > Update & security > Troubleshoot. See if it works.

If that doesn't work, try this:

Open administrative Command Prompt and type following commands one-by-one followed by Enter key.

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

If issue still persists, we can install updates manually using this guide: https://www.kapilarya.com/manually-download-and-install-windows-updates-in-windows-10

If nothing helps, reset Windows Update components: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/windows-update-resources

Hope this helps!

    Greg, still displaying "Please Wait" and approaching 1 hour.  I will x out in 10 more minutes as this is futile.  No error messages, Windows 10 download was OK, getting updates OK, until "Making Sure You're Ready to Install".  Now the question is; what do I do now.  Very frustrating.

    I await your further instructions.................Ralph

    Greg, running the media creation tool and it seems to be hung up.  It is now displaying Making Sure your're ready to install but nothing is happening, just circling dots.  It stated it could take a few minutes but it has been 1/2 hour.  What should I do?..........Ralph

    1909 is the latest version loaded into Media Creation Tool. It's small so doesn't cause any problems. You should install it while you have me here to help you. It contains all the previous versions and Updates so you'll be all up to date once it's installed.
