Windows Update stuck at 46%

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that the updates are stuck at 46% while trying to update Windows. However, it would be great if you can help us with the details requested below:

• How are you trying to update Windows?
  
• Are you trying to update the computer from an older version of Windows like Windows 7 or Windows 8.1?
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type:
  winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
  Enter.
  
• What is the make and model of the computer?
  

I would suggest you to try running the Windows Update troubleshooter and see if that helps. Refer the article

Windows Update Troubleshooter.



If the issue persists, I would suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the article

Troubleshoot problems updating Windows 10 and see if that helps.



Let us know how it goes.
