    Hi all


    I try since a couple of days to make the Updates on my Windows 10 PC work, but they always stuck the above state downloading 0%. I have used al available methods, stoping differnt services renaming the folders. No effect. The troubleshooter says that he cannot find anything. Disk space is not an issue, network is ok, I use Windows Firewall and AV. What else I can do?


    Thanks for all tips. Windows 10 Update not working, stuck at downloading 0% 665194a3-8a99-4fde-8c7d-8cdcdf88c6bf?upload=true.png

    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 Defender update stuck on "0% Downloading"

    Good Morning

    For the last 3 weeks I for some reason can't update windows Defender. It's stuck on downloading.

    Definition Update for Windows Defender Antivirus - KB2267602 (Definition 1.275.1086.0)

    Status: Downloading - 0%

    Definition Update for Windows Defender Antivirus - KB2267602 (Definition 1.259.652.0)

    Status: Downloading - 0%

    Once the update doesn't work I get the following error message:

    Code:
    [b]Error 0x80070003 while downloading update for Windows Defender.
    [/b]
    I've tried everything also methods below:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to run the Windows Update troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows key, type troubleshooter in the search box and then press enter.
    • Select Troubleshooting. Click on
      view all
      and select Windows Update troubleshooter and follow the on-screen instructions.
    Try below given method if issue persist.

    Method 2:

    If issue persist I suggest you to reset Windows Update component. Kindly follow the below given steps.



    • Press Windows key + X, select Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
    • Stop the BITS service, the Windows Update service, and the Cryptographic service. To do this, at a command prompt, type the following commands. Make sure that you press Enter after you type each command.
      • net stop bits
      • net stop wuauserv
      • net stop appidsvc
      • net stop cryptsvc
    • Rename the softare distribution folders backup copies. To do this, at a command prompt, type the following commands. Make sure that you press Enter after you type each command.
      • Ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.bak

    • Restart your PC and check if it works.
    Method 3:

    The system file may have got corrupted due to corruption in system file. I suggest you to try the following steps:

    • In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:
