Hello,
I am trying to update windows to version 20H2, however, the installation it's stuck at 61%.
What I tried:
1) I tried running this in administrator command prompt:
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
2) I tried updating windows in safe mode,
**3)**I tried disabling every non Microsoft service in msconfig
**4)**I tried updating using the windows 10 update assistant
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

2021-04-20T09:02:08+00:00 I tried a number of times using different methods.....none worked only the method as described on page four of this thread a number of people have given the same link
DOWNLOAD THE MCT (media creation tool) FROM THE LINK GIVEN AND SAVE IT..... before running it turn off anti virus.
Click on the app you just saved to run it.......it takes about 30 minutes to download and about 90 minutes to install.
Microsoft MCT tool link, from the above answer:
