Windows 10: Windows 10 updates stopped

OS: Windows 10 Pro, build 1909

Last update for Defender: January 14 2020

Last update for Windows 10: January 14 2020


When I go into Settings, get into the Updates section, it shows "downloading 34%", but has not changed in 2 weeks.

When I try to update using "Protection Updates", clicking on "Check for updates", the action never completes.


I have scanned for malware; nothing found. The internet connection is working; sites load, everything appears normal; downloads work; streaming videos play. I'm out of ideas. Suggestions/advice appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
