Windows Update suddenly hangs?

Windows Update is suddenly hanging for some reason... I went and downloaded and installed the first bunch of updates, restarted when asked, and now when I go back to windows update I just get the window with a white box forever. Reboot and it still does it. This happens to be on my main machine, running windows 7.

I've also noticed when I reboot it says configuring windows update, step 3 of 3, 47%. Maybe it somehow skipped something and is screwed forever?

Hi, some history please (so often omitted by posters):
- when did you last successfully update this PC? (I.e. how new is this problem, noting you're on 1909).
- have you done anything specific to block Windows Update to stay on 1909?

If you look at your Update History (screenshot please) that will show which update (or feature update- upgrade) is failing.

Error 0x05B4 is a timeout error. The error code is most likely related to Windows Defender

However the other symptoms suggest some basic checks are needed.

Turning to SFC /SCANNOW hanging, please run

chkdsk c: /scan
from an admin command prompt and post the summary (not all) result.

Please also download and run Hard Disk Sentinel (trial) - SSDs too- and post the result like this:
