    Hello Yishai Yosifov.  You may check this steps :

    1. Make sure the internet connection is not interrupted.
    2. Make sure your hard disk still have enough free space.
    3. Deactivated any third party antivirus.
    4. Wait patiently, because the time required for the update process can vary depending on the specs and the readiness of each device.
    5. If you are sure it is stuck and you can't wait anymore, you may try the built-in Windows troubleshooting.

    Restart computer -> type Troubleshoot settings in search and click to open it -> on Troubleshoot section, click the link of Additional troubleshooters -> select Windows Update -> click Run the troubleshooter.

    1-Click on Update this PC now and click Next

    2-Will take a time to download

    3-Check if the option "Keep apps and files" is enabled

    4-Click on Install
