    Windows 10 20H2 stuck at "working on updates 0%" for hours


    Using the Windows Update Assistant installer I downloaded, it realized it didn't have enough disk space so I add a blank 16GB to the mix.Seemed to run through setting things up, rebooted and stuck at "working on updates 0%" for hours The only thing happening is the USB drive is flashing like mad.What do I do???? I don't want crash Windows so it won't boot by powering off or something.

    :)

    Downloading updates stuck at 0%


    Hello everyone, Windows Update has been stuck at 0% every time I've tried in the last couple of days (see screenshot). These are the two updates available:


    • Security Update for Internet Explorer Flash Player for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3103688).

    • Cumulative Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3105213).

    Windows Update stuck at 0%


    Hi, I have a Windows 10 notebook, Windows updates downloaded and installed fine. I installed Office 2016 and when running WIndows Update it will list all available updates for Office, but it's always stuck at 0% downloading. Any hint? Thanks

    UPDATE: Disconnected/Reconnected Internet access and restarted Windows and somehow that cleaned it and WIndows Update resumed normal operation.
