Windows 10: How do i fix my windows update

for the past 2 hours I have not been able to download driver updates and a windows 11 update. It either gets stuck on 0%, does not say there is any updates and gives me an error code "There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: 0x80080005". I have tried troubleshooting but it gets stuck on "checking for pending restart", I have also tried all methods online and was unable to restart my pc because it gets stuck on 62%.

Yeah, I've been noting it for months on the refusenik thread. They do NOT want anything older than 10 running.

I still have an HTPC on W7, and every other month I have to fix the update agent in order to get all updates. SMH....

You provided a good step by step fix. I've bookmarked it for future reference.

They made it part of the WU client then, or it's two different things doing the same. Too bad you can't download it separately.
