    Windows 10 November update stuck

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I will be glad to assist you with the issue you are experiencing with the computer. I understand the difficulty when things won’t work the way they should.

    I would suggest you to follow the below methods.

    Method: 1

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with
    Windows Update. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your
    Windows Update. Refer these steps:

    • Press Windows key +X, select Control panel
    • Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel
    • Run Windows Update troubleshooter.
    Method: 2

    If the troubleshooter didn’t detect any issues, I would suggest you to check if the Windows update service is running. Refer to these steps:



    • Press Windows key +R, type “services.msc”
    • Locate the Windows update service and check if it is running.
    • If not, right click on the service and click start to start the service.


    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

    Thank you.
