Any ideas to fix this on Windows 11
After I use my Winreducer to tweak my Windows 11 install. The windows updates does not work properly. settings: system: windows update When I click on "windows update" - nothing happens I if ...
When Windows Update stops working after using WinReducer, it usually means some required services or components were disabled or removed. You can try these steps:
Step 1: Run the Windows Update troubleshooter. Go to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters > Windows Update.
Step 2: Open Command Prompt as administrator and run these commands one by one:
sfc /scannow
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Step 3: Open services.msc and make sure Windows Update and Background Intelligent Transfer services are set to Automatic and running.
Step 4: If the issue started right after applying tweaks, you may need to restore from a backup or reinstall with fewer components removed, since some critical services may have been stripped.
