    Windows 10 wont update

    Have you tried the second step?

    (Searching for the error message e.g.

    windows update database corrupt

    is also a useful approach- e.g. finds
    Win 10 Update Database Corruption Solved - Windows 10 Forums
    - where the next step is the one I suggested above).

    Hi EmmzYeeh,

    Thank you for posting your concern on Microsoft Answer Community.

    “Potential Windows Update Database” can appear during different processes regarding Windows Update. It can appear while simply updating Windows to a newer version.

    1. May know if you are seeing "Potential Windows Update Database “error on your computer?
    2. Are you aware of any major updates that were installed recently?
    I suggest you to follow the below method, and check if that works.

    Method 1: Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter.

    I recommend you to download troubleshooter for Windows 10, follow this article

    Windows Update Troubleshooter    .

    Method 2: Dism to restore health.

    Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) is a tool designed to service and repair Windows images. It is reported to have saved the day for some users by fixing the annoying Windows database error.

    1. Use the Windows key + X keyboard shortcut to open the Power User menu and select Command Prompt (Admin).
    2. Type the following command and press Enter:
    3. DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    Method 3: Reset Windows Update Components.

    Another fix for the ‘Potential Windows Update Database Error Detected’ issue implies resetting Windows Update components. I suggest you to follow the article

    How do I reset Windows Update Components?     , and Check if that work.

    Hope it helps.
