Windows 11 updates freeze up due to pause feature?

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

You seem to be experiencing an update issue with the Windows 11 Update system. The issue where updates continue to download even when paused is not expected behavior.

Also, the issue of updates freezing during download can happen due to various reasons such as network issues, server-side problems, or even software conflicts.

Here are some steps you can try:

1. Troubleshoot Windows Update: Windows has a built-in troubleshooter for Windows Update. You can access it by going to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters > Windows Update.
   
2. Clear the Software Distribution Folder: The Software Distribution folder in Windows 11 is where the updates are temporarily stored. Sometimes, certain files in this folder can become corrupted, leading to issues with updates. Clearing this folder can often solve these issues.
   
   
   
   To do this, you'd need to stop the Windows Update service first. Open Command Prompt as an administrator, and type these commands:
   
   
   Then, navigate to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and delete all the files and folders inside.
   
   
   
   After that, start the Windows Update service again by typing these commands in Command Prompt:
   
   
   Then, try to rerun the Windows Update.
   
3. Check Your Network: If your internet connection is unstable, it can cause issues with downloading updates. Try to test your network connection or maybe reset your router.
   

Please keep me updated on your progress, and don't hesitate to ask if you have further questions or need more assistance.

Windows 11 updates freeze up due to pause feature?

Hello. So , I regurarly check for updates on my Windows 11 Pro 64-bit 23H2 , security ones included. Once I am done updating Windows , I pause the updates until next day , I also check for security updates throughout the day just in case. It happens that sometimes upon booting up Windows and checking my Windows Update page in settings , the security updates are already downloading on their own even though the Windows Update is paused. Today , security updates downloaded on their own again , however , this time it froze up at 88% (Downloading). I tried to start the Windows Update service through Services.msc (Ran as Administrator) , restarted it too , but it did not work. My question is , why does this happen? Is it a bug or something else? Keep in mind that this happened to other versions of Windows 11 too (Even before doing a clean install , which was some time after 23H2 came out).
