Windows 10: Windows update stuck

I've been troubleshooting a friend's game rig, but can't seem to get windows update to work


Its running Win 10 version 1511 OS build 10586.420, but was originally win 8.1 before they migrated to Win 10. The updater is (and probably always was) stuck in a perpetual loop, downloading stuck at 0%


I tried the windows update troubleshooter and couple of the console work arounds discussed on this forum to no avail.


I also tried manually installing updates, but encountered error code 0x80070652.


The Iast thing I tried was the recovery tool to reinstall windows, but I encountered error code 0xc0000409 at location 0x00007ff8c8e41f0f


Any thoughts or help would be appreciated, I backed up all the data today so I might try reinstalling windows from usb tomorrow and see where that gets me

:)

 

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.


Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

Windows Update Stuck


Updating my laptop which I haven't used for 6 months.
I go to Settings, Update and Security, and there are a list of 10 updates, 2 of which say pending install, the others say pending download. Left laptop on overnight and still saying the same this morning.
Ran Windows Troubleshooting Updates twice, both times found no problem.
Have good Wi-Fi signal. Have re-booted several times. Now stuck. Can you please suggest how I get round this please.
