    If Your Windows 10 Updates Are Stuck on "Pending Download" A Possible Solution!


    Guys,


    If your updates are stuck on "Pending Download" or "Pending Install" Go to "Windows Update Settings" Go to "Advanced", there is a slider there"Allow updates to download over metered connections." If you slide this to "On." than the updates will begin to download and install properly. There will be some wait time for awhile, but they will begin to download and install, with Action Center eventually showing a need to restart if applicable.


    This was only an issue with two PC's recently updated to build 1909, and it is an issue for many, but not all users. I have been on builds 1803, and 1809 without this issue. If you are affected, you can go to Feedback Hub, search for "Updates stuck on Pending Download" and upvote this issue.

  2. Windows 10 store on phone stuck pending

    Yes! Yes! Yes! I have found the solution a little bit typical but it will save you from resets and losing your data.

    STEPS

    1. Select update all in downloads and updates in store in windows 10 mobile phone.

    2. Let them start downloading .

    3. Now select pause all in same menu.

    4. This time you will get two option in front of all apps resume and cancel even on those apps which are stuck.

    5. Now cancel the every app from list by clicking on cross one by one.

    6. Now you have got empty download list but still you will see stuck apps in phone's app list at pending.

    7. Again open the store and search there for the same app which is stuck on your phone.

    8. Click on install on app page in store and wait.

    9. A pop up menu will come written something went wrong just close it and keep waiting on same page.

    10. Now the final step app will start downloading automatically and what you have to do is just click on cross when it comes.

    11. BINGO! App has been removed from your app list no hard reset no lose of data just a little patience is required i have found the solution myself because i was sailing in same boat.

    Windows Update Stuck

    Updating my laptop which I haven't used for 6 months.
    I go to Settings, Update and Security, and there are a list of 10 updates, 2 of which say pending install, the others say pending download. Left laptop on overnight and still saying the same this morning.
    Ran Windows Troubleshooting Updates twice, both times found no problem.
    Have good Wi-Fi signal. Have re-booted several times. Now stuck. Can you please suggest how I get round this please.

    Windows Store download stuck on PENDING/STARTING DOWNLOAD

    Recently I have tried to download a game on the Windows store on Windows 10. It was a free game. It didn't get past the pending part and I couldn't do anything. I have tried:

    • Press Windows button + R Type wsreset.exe
    • Troubleshooting the windows update thing
    I want to be able to download the game without clearing all my apps. It is now on the 'Starting download' part and is stuck again. I have previously downloaded other apps and it usually downloads very fast.

    Could someone please give me a solution?

    Thanks
