  1. Problem downloading updates - stuck at 97%


    My PC is stuck downloading updates. First it was "Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems KB4049411," now its "2018-05 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems KB4103720." It just recently blue-screened as well, for seemingly no reason. I have also got an error saying my system is too out of date, and to use "windows update," which I currently am to download the stuck update. Running Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB version 1607. I have tried restarting multiple times and using the download troubleshooter, which corrected an error in the registry key

  3. Windows 10 "anniversary" update stuck at 97% download twice

    So, I wanted to update Windows 10 to the latest "anniversary" edition. Found the Windows 10 upgrade assistant and let it download over night. This morning the assistant was "stuck" at 97% in the download. I rebooted the laptop and no changes were made, so
    I started the update assistant again. This time I couldn't get past 0%. More re boots and restarts of the assistant didn't get me past 0%, while waiting for hours.

    Next I downloaded the windows update troubleshooting program and that didn't find anything wrong.

    Then I downloaded the "Media creation tool" and started that and it went right to "Downloading Windows 10" Progress 97% and it is stuck again for hours. It does not attempt to install the update, as the download itself isn't complete.

    Why would the download be stuck at 97% twice?

    There is only the Windows Defender running as anti virus.

    Problem downloading updates - stuck at 97%

    Computer stuck at 97% working on update.

    Hi,

    Computer has been stuck at 97% working on update. I have tried the hard reset and it just gets stuck at 97% again.

    Is there any other avenue to correct this.

    Thanks
