How to fix your Windows Update Stuck ?Do all these Steps.

Do all these steps to fix your windows updates.

🔄 1. Wait It Out (if possible)

• Give it time — sometimes the update seems stuck but is actually processing large files in the background.
• If it’s been more than 2 hours, it’s probably safe to assume something went wrong.

🔧 2. Force a Restart

• Press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds to force a shutdown.
• Wait a minute, then turn it back on.
• Windows should either resume the update or roll it back automatically.

🔍 3. Run Windows Update Troubleshooter

• After rebooting:
  1. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot.
  2. Click Additional troubleshooters.
  3. Select Windows Update and run the troubleshooter.

🧹 4. Clear the Update Cache

You can try clearing the cache that stores update files:

1. Press Win + R, type services.msc, and press Enter.
2. Find Windows Update service and stop it.
3. Go to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and delete all contents (safe to delete).
4. Restart the Windows Update service.
5. Reboot and try the update again.

⚠️ 5. Use the Windows 10 Update Assistant

If Windows Update still gets stuck:

• Download the Windows 10 Update Assistant from Microsoft’s website and use that instead — it’s more reliable for stuck updates.

🛠️ 6. Run System File Checker (SFC)

1. Open Command Prompt as Admin.
2. Type: sfc /scannow and press Enter.
3. Let it run and repair any corrupted files.
