    Updates does in fact work, but every time I go to system settings it states "Updates in progress".

    I know this is a minor issue but it still bothers me. Here is a picture:

    What could cause this? I have already tried clearing out the update cache files and that does not make this go away.

    :)

    Windows Update keeps failing!

    Hi,

    I had once a similar issue like yours, i.e. not able to update Windows 7. What I did to solve the problems is:

    - go to control panel, then to "Troubleshouting" > "System and Security" > "Fix problems with Windows update" > click "Advanced" > choose "Apply repairs automatically".

    And Windows will start detecting the issues and will repair "Windows update components". The problems should be fixed now, close the program, restart the PC, and see if the mentioned steps have fixed the problems you mentioned.

    Hope it works for you.

    Good luck!

    Windows Update keeps showing "Updates in progress".

    Update shows no progress

    Hi,

    Thanks for posting your query to Microsoft forum. I will certainly help you with this.


    Method 1:

    Step 1: Unplug all your removable media

    Please unplug all your removable media from the computer except the keyboard and mouse, such as removable disks, memory cards and USB flash drives.

    Step 2: Perform Clean boot and try to install Windows Updates.

    Perform Clean Boot which helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Refer to Windows 8.1 steps, as they are applicable to Windows 10.

    Note: Refer "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting" to reset the computer to start as normal after troubleshooting.

    Method 2:

    Step 1: Please check your Windows updates (including optional updates).

    • At the Start screen, type Windows Update.
    • Select Check for Update.
    • Download and Install the latest Windows Updates.

    Step 2: I would suggest you to download the Windows 10 from the link below and check.

    Download Windows 10 and run the set up from the desktop.

    Note: I highly recommend
    backing up all of your important files and folders onto an external storage device before attempting the installation.

    Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to help you further.
