Windows 11 update error (Something went wrong. Try to reopen settings later)

I was on Reddit when I saw the new windows 11 update, it looked cool and wanted to update; I opened the update manager and got this weird message: Something went wrong. Try to reopen settings later.

I searched on the net but only found windows 10 issues, I still tried to fix them with their solutions but nothing worked, but I discovered something. When running: net start wuauserv, I get this error: System error 1058, which says: Impossible to start the service: the service is disabled or it is not associated with any device. I then tried to start it manually, but it won't start since it is a service that is called by windows update when you open the settings. Lost in this mess, I contacted Microsoft support, and they sent me here. Any ideas?

  • I just fixed everything, I got quite the headache while doing all of this, here's an ordered list of what I did:
    1. Stop the SU10 process from the task manager;
    2. Remove manually the SU10 program (you can go to the path through task manager);
    3. Disabled the "SU10" process from "services";
    4. Activated the "Windows Update" process from "services";

    5. Activated the "Orchestrator" service from "services"
    6. From Regedit, I got to "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WaaSMedicSvc" and changed the value of "start" from 4 to 2
    7. Restarted the PC.

    That should be the way to fix it, at least it worked out for me

    Hi, I also experienced this after i updated my PC to Windows 11 but i fixed mine by running an application named "QOZ9F9" that is somehow related to SU10Guard inside Windows Directory.

    after running that application, this has showed to my screen:

    Just Click the "Restore Windows Updates" and it will fix the issue on updates.
    By the way, sorry for my bad grammar but i hope this helps.

  • Marel_  Hi

    Please provide more details - what update are you writing about?
    what build do you currently have for Windows?
    Often the update service gives such a message because there are not all the components needed for installation and you just have to wait!
