I tried this and now the windows update service is stopping and it showed an error earlier, I can't even restart it since all the options are grayed out.

2021-09-19T12:25:10+00:00 For me the update was stuck at 24% overnight.
I turned off the bits, crypto, & update services, renamed the software dist' & Catroot2 folders, and this resolved my issue.
Microsoft has had issues with updates for years (even decades), why on earth they don't fix it, or provide a utility to do it is just lazy or incompetant.
