7 Solutions to Fix Windows 10 Update Stuck Problem
                     7 Solutions to Fix:
Windows 10 Update Stuck Problem
1) Turn it off and on 
This method works well with any of the issues. Just restarting the pc works 
wonders and the issue that we are facing gets solved. It can be applied to this 
problem as well. Your PC’s temporary memory gets cleared upon restarting 
and everything will get started from scratch. 
If the update is stuck in the background while you were working then restart it 
normally. If it has stuck while your OS gets loaded then hold down the power 
button for 5 seconds and it will restart. Check out this method and see what 
happens. If the issue still remains, move to the next method. 
2)     System Restore
In Windows 10, go to the Control Panel system. Now, look for System Protection here. 
Now, you have to click System Restore. 
Now, choose ‘Show more restore points’ and you will get a list of available options. Pick 
the time and date. 
3)     Windows Update utility: check it out
You have to navigate to Start Menu–>Settings–>Update and Security. Windows will let 
you know here what problem has occurred if it has diagnosed the problem. Sometimes, 
users get the message to update the system at some other time.
Go to Advanced options–>View your update history to see the recently installed 
successful updates. 
4)    Troubleshooter program can be needy
 Troubleshooter program is quite helpful in solving many issues and it can help 
you in solving this issue too. Search for “troubleshooting”. Now, select ‘Fix 
problems with Windows Update’ from the available items. Try this to fix the 
issue. 
5)    Do a complete Virus scan
There is a possibility that spyware or virus in your system is blocking the 
update to get completed. Do a complete virus scan using any security software 
that you are using and the issue will get sorted if this is the case. 
6)    Try Safe Mode
In Safe Mode, only the basic apps and code are loaded into memory by 
Windows. You have to hold down the Shift key then choose Power and Restart 
from the sign-in screen for Windows 10. 
Now, you have to pick Troubleshoot–>Advanced Options. Go for  Startup 
Settings and then Restart, here you will see the Safe Mode option appear. Go 
for the update process again if there is a possibility. 
7)   Delete the Windows update cache file
You can stop the Windows update service manually and delete all the temporary files that have 
been created. After that, start the Windows update once again. Follow the steps we suggest to 
do this.
● Firstly, you have to enter safe mode (follow the same steps for entering safe mode as 
we mentioned previously) then access command prompt (search command prompt in 
the Start menu and open it).
● Now, you have to type”net stop wuauserv” and hit Enter. 
● Now, type “net stop bits” and hit Enter again.
● Now, you have to delete all the temporary files that are created. For this, you have to 
navigate to the C:\ Windows\ SoftwareDistribution folder and delete everything you find 
here. Don’t worry, these are just temporary files so removing them won’t do any harm. 
● Now, open a command prompt again and type “net start wuauserv”. Hit enter.
● Now, type “net start bits” and hit enter. 
● This will start the Windows update and all the background services will start running.
