Windows cumulative update stuck at 0% download?
I'm having a strange problem with my Windows updates. Regular updates download and install normally, but cumulative updates always get stuck at 0% during download. Is there a solution?
Hello,
Please run Windows Update troubleshooter from Settings app > Update & security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters. See if it works.
If that doesn't work, try this:
Open administrative Command Prompt and type following commands one-by-one followed by Enter key.
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver
Close Command Prompt and see if Windows Updates works then.
Let us know if this helps!
