Windows 10: Windows working on updates 97% stuck. How do I fix this or even restart it.

Windows working on updates 97% stuck. How do I fix this or even restart it. Ctrl shift esc and ask the others I tried. NOTHING IS WORKING and in going to get fired if I don't get back on. It was started at lunch and now it's over an hour and a half. Please?!

:)

 

Win 10 1607 update

Yep, mine stuck at 97%. Then I cleaned out the update, restarted... stuck at 45%.
So, I manually downloaded the KB3189866 from windows catalog site, ran it and it worked.

 

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 updates won't install!

I had the same problem when i repaired my O/S, i forgot the steps on how to fixed it, but it is in the microsoft support forum.

You have to reinstall the windows updater, then restart the updating service.
