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, I ran step 2 this  morning but I am not sure what identifier (type) I am supposed to select.  I have included a jpeg of the screen, can you point me to the correct selection.  Thanks...........Ralph

    Ok, finally it went smooth as butter..

    I run windows 10 via VHD inside vmware, one single file ....

    The main station had several firewalls, so i copied the VHD file and other config directory to another windows box which has only norton security. 

    Nothing else.

    Fired up the win10 box, ran updates and BOOOM....it just went smooth as butter.

    I am done.

    It seems like if you are behind the firewall, I dont know how many you have, seems like it needs to be without any while install and then , mat be copy over to behind firewalls...

    Greg, I did do a restart but the update failed again plus 3 more retries have failed.  I will try option 3 later today as I don't have time right now.  Thanks again for all your help, I really appreciate the time you have spent trouble-shooting my problem.............Ralph
