Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

I appreciate your interest on windows 10.

Before we proceed I would like you to answer the following question:

• Could you please tell me whether the downloading software belongs to Microsoft?

The issue might occur due to download of random softwares.I will certainly help you with the issue.

I suggest you to follow the methods below:

Method 1

If downloading software belongs to Microsoft,then I suggest you to refer the article below:

Note:Updates and drivers are installed automatically, with no need to select which updates are needed or not needed. In rare cases, a specific driver or update might temporarily cause issues with your device, and in this case
you will need a way to prevent the problematic driver or update from reinstalling automatically the next time Windows Updates are installed.

Method 2

I also suggest you to follow the steps below and check:

• press Windows + r to open run command.
• Run services.msc to open Services Manager.
• Ensure that the Windows Defender service is started and set to Automatic.

My computer won't stop downloading

Hi,

Do not worry we will help you in resolving the issue.

Provide us additional information to assist you better:

• Are you able to boot/ access the desktop while downloading the updates?
• Were you able to see any error message/ error code while installing the updates?
• Are you using wired/ wireless internet connection on your computer?

This issue might have occurred due to corrupted/ outdated Windows Update components or third party anti-virus software etc.

If you are able to boot the computer to desktop, let us try few of the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

Method 1: Disable/Uninstall third party anti-virus software and run Windows Update troubleshooter.

Step 1: Disable the third-party anti-virus software.

NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily
disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

If the issue still persists, I suggest you to uninstall the third-party anti-virus software.

Step 2: I suggest you to
run the Windows Update troubleshooter and check if you are able to install the updates.
