Windows 11 update keeps getting stuck at 98%.
The system update progress bar often gets stuck at 98% and doesn't move. Sometimes it won't complete even after waiting all night. What causes this issue and how can I fix it?
Hello,
Please run Windows Update troubleshooter from Settings app > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters. See if it works.
If that doesn't work, a corrupted update database might cause this issue.
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.
