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

    UPDATE:

    After I reset windows, the update worked.

    There is a new update, and the same thing happened. Looks like I'll have to reset windows every time there's an update.

    This was my case.  Thank you for finding this out for many of us.

    I went to device manager and removed Conexant from the Audio Inputs and Outputs and Sound, video, and game controllers.  I also checked for any services (just über precaution) 

    After doing the above I saw the update downloading, and then installing.
