  1. Unable to complete Windows update installation


    I have a Dell Latitude E6540 that hangs when trying to install the latest Windows 10 update. It installed the version released in early November or late October but only after a lot of trouble doing so. I've tried to install 3 times, and it always hangs at about 84%. Then I have to power down and it uninstalls. At least on the latest try the Windows Update utility Feature Updates says "updates paused" and the quality update Version 1909 seems to have successfully installed. I've set it to resume next week in hopes I can find a solution to this continuing problem.

    :)

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Unable to complete Windows update installation :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
