Windows 10: I've tried to update my Windows 11 21H2 to 23H2, but it keeps failing via Windows update.

I download the update through 'settings and windows update'. the update downloads successfully and I proceed. The machine restarts a couple of times, gets to around 90% and freezes... for hours... and hours... I've left it the better part of a whole day before and 'Nothing'. So had to restart and it all reverted back. I've uninstalled my Norton product, just to be sure it wasn't a firewall issue or anything. No luck.Any help would be gratefully received.Thank you kindly.Richard

Windows Update keeps failing!

Hi,

I had once a similar issue like yours, i.e. not able to update Windows 7. What I did to solve the problems is:

- go to control panel, then to "Troubleshouting" > "System and Security" > "Fix problems with Windows update" > click "Advanced" > choose "Apply repairs automatically".

And Windows will start detecting the issues and will repair "Windows update components". The problems should be fixed now, close the program, restart the PC, and see if the mentioned steps have fixed the problems you mentioned.

Hope it works for you.

Good luck!

 

Windows Update keeps failing!

Hi all,
for some reason i can't update my win7 anymore... it downloads and instals perfectly but then when i reboot and its configuring updates @ startup it says fail to configure microsoft windows update bla bla bla.... i've tried the following solutions which don't work.

1. selecting and installing updates 1 by 1.
2. I downloaded some kb update that is supposed to prepare the machine for win7 sp1.
3. downloaded microsoft fix it.
4. tried to install win7 sp1 directly... no go, same error as with the other updates...
5. installed and updated win software (.net, windows installer, vcredist)

i had this same issue a couple of months ago. but that was related to .net not properly configured, that is not the case with this..
Sure i can disable windows update. but then again this topic is useless if i want that solution *Stick Out Tongue

Try this --> Fix the problem with Microsoft Windows Update that is not working

If that fails... give this a go --> System Update Readiness Tool fixes Windows Update errors in Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 2008
