Hi IamAbhijeet,

 
 
 

Hi @IamAbhijeet,

I understand that you are unable to unpause Windows Update on your PC. Here are a few more things you can try:

  1. Boot into Safe Mode and try to unpause Windows Update. To do this, restart your PC and press the F8 key repeatedly until you see the Advanced Boot Options menu. Select Safe Mode with Networking and press Enter. Once you are booted into Safe Mode, try to unpause Windows Update through the Settings app.
  2. Reset the Windows Update components. To do this, open a command prompt window and run the following commands:

 

net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
net stop cryptSvc
ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start bits
net start cryptSvc​

 

  1. Manually install the latest updates. To do this, go to the Microsoft Update Catalog website: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/ and search for the updates that are available for your version of Windows. Once you have found the updates, download them and install them manually.
  2. Restrat your PC
