Win Update: Something went wrong. Try to reopen Settings later.

Again, thank you for your reply.


Had you used the MajorGeeks site I gave you per your request, the download should have been fairly easy.

If you don't like that either, then for your future reference, Softpedia.com is another reliable host site for many good programs.

And of course, if you don't like those, you can use Google to find more download options.

When I've suggested this program in other threads, people typically haven't had difficulty running it.

First boot to Safe Mode.
Then run the program.
Then work through options



Getting started/1/2/3/4

- these are sensible steps and basic checks.
- if you are sufficiently confident, you can skip 1 or more.

Then Backup Tools - if you wish e.g. to create a Restore Point.
Then Repairs Main, Open Repairs - and select only the repair you want. (Windows Update).

Have you considered reading the Help file?

 

"Something went wrong. Try to reopen settings later" In windows updates.

The issue is Windows Store's apps and games couldn't update with the addition of windows update tab only reading out "Something went wrong. Try to reopen settings later." I have searched on solutions but none are similar to my situation. Any word back would be appreciated! I am thinking of resetting of some sorts because I have tried everything.

 

Windows Update: Something went wrong. Try to reopen settings later.

Hi. My windows 10 computer was malfunctioning recently so I did a system restore and the problems for fixed. However, one problem decided to stick around, that's whenever I open windows update I get this message: "Something went wrong. Try to reopen settings later." Other settings work.

What I have tried:

• Windows update troubleshooter ( Tried from control panel and settings app ). It said: "Couldn't identify the problem."
  
• Resetting the settings app.
  
• Clearing the "Delivery optimization files" in C drive using Disk Cleanup.
  
• Jen.Q's answer in this thread
  
• wuauclt.exe /updatenow, nothing happened.
  

Before the system restore I was on 21h1 waiting to upgrade to 21h2 ( my PC does not meet the requirements to upgrade to windows 11 ) but now I am back to version 2004. Also my internet connection works fine.

Windows: Windows 10 Pro

Computer: Dell Otiplex 7010

Note: I am not in favor of doing a clean install, reset or using third party apps to resolve this problem.
