Windows 10: How to solve "an update is being prepared for your device, but it's not quite ready yet" issue?

I'm on Windows 10 Pro Version 1709 OS Build 16299.1127. I'm previously running without any issues with windows updates not until i reformatted my PC and used my installation disk to format it. The necessary updates were installed though but feature update won't start to download and install. It keeps telling me "an update is being prepared for your device, but it's not quite ready yet. We'll keep trying or you can try again now". It's been like this for the last 7 days and i keep waiting but still no update? I would i go about in solving this issue? Thanks in advance.

Intel Readies P55 Chipset B3 Stepping Update

Intel's is readying a hardware update for its P55 Express chipset, currently the only core-logic for the company's brand new socket LGA-1156 processor platform. The new B3 stepping of the P55 PCH will bring with it a little more than new MM number and S-spec numbers. A list of changes is as follows:

• New MM number and S-spec numbers for the converted products;
• Firmware and minor BIOS updates are required with the conversion;
• Processor MRC/microcode update required to enable future processors;
• Recommended storage driver upgrade from Intel MSM 8.9 to Intel RST 9.5.

Although it is listed that the MRC update enables 'future processors', Intel, in a statement issued to X-bit labs assured that the current B2 stepping of the chipset (found on current socket LGA-1156 motherboards) does not leave out support for any of Intel's new LGA-1156 processors that are slated for release in the very near future. The dual-core "Clarkale" 32 nm processor will be supported by both B2 and B3 steppings of the chipset.

P55 B3 stepping is pin-identical to P55 B2, and hence motherboard vendors will not have to come up with new designs. Sampling of the new stepping began as early as on October 02, 2009, and it is scheduled for shipment to manufacturers by the 7th of December, 2009. P55 is the performance core-logic for the LGA-1156 platform. It supports Core i5 and Core i7 "Lynnfield" processors with discrete graphics.

Windows 10 1903 Update your device isn't quite ready

I'm trying to update to 1903 but I get the message your device isn't quite ready.

I'm not sure why I'm getting this message since the PC is up to date with all the Windows updates.

Is there something else that I need to do to get the PC ready for 1903?

Thank,

Paul
