Windows 10: Recent Windows 11 update issue, how do i fix the "update and restart" that wont go away?

Hi, i recently updated my PC with the most recent Windows 11 update and i experienced the "loading black screen" i booted 3 times and got to the advanced options and did everything but reset my PC. I did a "restore" and i got to my desktop but the "update and restart" option stays and theres a pending update. I cant open my usual applications, its frustrating.. does anyone have recommendations? Please help!

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!

It works, but I still need to fix it so that way I dont have to plug computers directly to the modem to get windows update to work. It was also blocking me from installing directx.

If your wireless router has a built in firewall maybe it's somehow set to block the ports that Windows updates use?

I'd also suggest if it works with it being directly connected then you could try resetting your router to see if this fixes the issue.

That's my 2 cents anyways. *Smile
