Hello,

What I tried:

1) I tried running this in administrator command prompt:

ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old

net start wuauserv

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

    Uninstall Sennheiser headphone drivers and then restart the PC, it will complete the update, you can reinstall those drivers after the windows update. Remember this method every time it get stuck in future, if you are still want to use that headphone. You can read my reply above

    Remove the sennheiser headphone related drivers, and then restart the PC and open update again, your PC will update successfully and after the update you can reinstall those headphone drivers, try this every time when a major windows update stucks in the future as long as you are using those headphones

    Audio drivers were deleted and reinstalled. That did not fix the issue. Continuing to try the update over a couple of months finally allowed the update. Microsoft must have made other changes to correct this condition. All is well now....
