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!

    Ralph, your most welcome I am happy to help.

    But please go back to my first post and complete all of the steps while I am here to help you. Those steps work for almost everyone, so Please don't skip any steps. We often find out later that the fix was the skipped step. If you need help performing any step I will help.

    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

    Options 1 and 2 never have worked for me. I always end up having to do option 3, which has worked this time as well. Thank you!
