    Update not completing


    For a while now this has been happening: my computer slowing down in an endless update. It would take 10 minutes to boot up and 30 minutes to shut down, practically forcing me to hard shutdown at times. The update 2023-10 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems KB5031356 has been stuck at Installing - 20% for the past few days so I'm assuming it's corrupt in some way. Is there a way to cancel the update or fully restart it? Thank you

    :)

    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 Update not completing :) Best regards.


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

    Steps:-

    • Press Windows Key + R and type “services.msc” (without quotes)
    • Hit Enter.
    • Search for Windows Update service in the list.
    • Right Click on it and stop it.
    • Again right click on it and start it.
