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 Best regards.


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

 

Windows 10 Updates & Upgrades error: There wasn't enough space on my hard drive

Hi Samantha,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I can imagine the inconvenience you have experienced. I will definitely help you with this.

Since you have a less amount of space in your hard disk, I suggest you to free up some disk space by running disk cleanup on your system.

Here are the steps:

• 
  To delete temporary files:
  
  • 
    Search for Disk cleanup from the taskbar and select it from the list of results.
    
  • 
    Under Files to delete, select the file types to get rid of. To get a description of the file type, select it.
    
  • 
    Select OK.
    
• 
  If you need to free up more space, you can also delete system files:
  
  • 
    In Disk cleanup, select Clean up system files.
    
  • 
    Select the file types to get rid of. To get a description of the file type, select it.
    
  • 
    Select OK.
    

Once you perform the above steps, install the Windows updates manually and check.
