Hi Jorks,
you allready tried some troubleshooting steps, but you can try these also:
1. Check for sufficient disk space:
- Right-click on your system drive (usually C:) and select Properties.
- Check the Available space value.
- If the Available space value is less than 10 GB, you will need to free up some disk space before installing the update.
2. Check for pending updates or previous update installations that are stuck:
- Open a Command Prompt as an administrator.
- Type schtasks /Run /Tn "Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\Automatic App Update" and press Enter.
This will trigger the installation of pending updates.
- If any updates are stuck, you can try restarting the Windows Update service.
To do this:
- Open the Services console by typing services.msc into the Run dialog (Win + R).
- Scroll down to the Windows Update service and right-click it.
- Select Restart.
3. Use the Windows Update Catalog to manually download and install the update:
- Go to the Microsoft Update Catalog website (https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Home.aspx).
- Search for the specific update you're trying to install by its KB number.
- Download the update that matches your system architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
- Double-click the downloaded update file to install it.
4. Check for third-party software conflicts:
Temporarily disable or uninstall any security software, system optimization tools, or other third-party applications that might be causing conflicts.
5. Perform an in-place upgrade of Windows 10:
- Download the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool from the Microsoft website (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10).
- Run the Media Creation Tool and select the Upgrade this PC now option.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the upgrade process.
