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 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?

    I had the same issue and found on this wintechlab page that Conexant driver update could fix.

    I had uninstalled that updated driver because of sound issues.

    I installed the latest driver and could successfully update my computer.

    There are other actions, as well on that page, which I didn't need or follow.

    Hope this helps.

    Yes, I can confirm this. The update of the Conexant driver did do the trick (got the stuck at 61% before the driver update).

    Finally I got a working solution.

    I experienced the same problem stuck at 61%, and not even removing the conexan audio drivers worked.

    I found the next answer also from Microsoft support where they give a link to the Microsoft MCT tool, instead of using the update from the settings panel:

    Microsoft MCT tool link, from the above answer:

    https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=799445

    This update when smooth, although it took long to complete.

    Thank you so much for the link to the upgrade assistant tool. This definitely works although it took a bout 2.5 hours to complete.

    Thanks again to FernandoSanchez

    Just a heads up - I had to deactivate updates for 7 days and restart my computer because the update somehow was running in the background.
    But then it worked as it should.
