Windows 10: Why when I try to update my pc it tells me something went wrong and to try again later?

Every time I go to update windows on my pc it tells me something went wrong and to try again later. This has been going on for months now.

:)

 

Something went wrong, Please try again later. (Win10 Upgrade)

I was getting the same error message that something went wrong and try again later. As suggested, I went to the Windows Update icon in the control panel and found that Windows 10 was still downloading. I imagine when this is complete I will be able to
go to the next step. I think the "next step" is showing prematurely and you have to wait for the download to finish.

 

Something went wrong, Please try again later. (Win10 Upgrade)

Did this work for you?

 

Win Update: Something went wrong. Try to reopen Settings later.

Again, thank you for your reply.


Had you used the MajorGeeks site I gave you per your request, the download should have been fairly easy.

If you don't like that either, then for your future reference, Softpedia.com is another reliable host site for many good programs.

And of course, if you don't like those, you can use Google to find more download options.

When I've suggested this program in other threads, people typically haven't had difficulty running it.

First boot to Safe Mode.
Then run the program.
Then work through options



Getting started/1/2/3/4

- these are sensible steps and basic checks.
- if you are sufficiently confident, you can skip 1 or more.

Then Backup Tools - if you wish e.g. to create a Restore Point.
Then Repairs Main, Open Repairs - and select only the repair you want. (Windows Update).
