    Getting Windows updates stuck at 46% - Neverending story, Part III


    No luck with trying to install Windows 10 on a second hand PC with Windows 7. Te process gets stuck at 46% of getting the updates and stays there forever.This is not the newest PC and cannot take Windows 11, so I am stuck with Windows 7 when Windows 10 just cannot install. Worst failware ever.Someone once said that updates/failware are in fact malware as they create just as many problems, or more. 3rd attempt to fix the porblem and ther will be as many more as needed until the problem is fixed.

    :)

    Windows 10 upgrade gets stuck at 46%

    I've been trying to upgrade to Windows 10 for the last 2 days. I first used the disk I purchased and all went well until the updating part. It then gets stuck at 46% and won't go any further - i left it overnight and still no progress.

    I went onto support and tried downloading a copy, again everything went fine until the updating part, where it again got stuck at 46%

    Any suggestions gratefully received

    Windows Update stuck at 46%

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that the updates are stuck at 46% while trying to update Windows. However, it would be great if you can help us with the details requested below:



    • How are you trying to update Windows?
    • Are you trying to update the computer from an older version of Windows like Windows 7 or Windows 8.1?
    • Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type:
      winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
      Enter.
    • What is the make and model of the computer?


    I would suggest you to try running the Windows Update troubleshooter and see if that helps. Refer the article

    Windows Update Troubleshooter    .



    If the issue persists, I would suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the article

    Troubleshoot problems updating Windows 10     and see if that helps.



    Let us know how it goes.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare
