Windows Update broken after trying to update to Build 22494 Dev Channel
Windows Update shows up this once I've tried to update to Build 22494(Dev Channel).
It says: "A problem has occurred. Try reopening the Settings later" and it doesn't show anything except for this strange pause button.
Any kind of help would be appreciated.
- The only way I found to fix it was to download the 22494 update manually and install it.
I perhaps shouldn't mention this here but as MS broke Windows update for me (and possibly others) here is a method to download and install manually. After I did this Windows Update is working again and I'm on the latest Dev build

I encountered this issue randomly sometime after thehttps://aka.ms/AAeqot6 while trying to update to 22494. A reboot fixed it for me.
If that doesn't work, another thing to try is using the https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PSWindowsUpdate/2.2.0.2 PowerShell Module.
This is a good site that will walk you through it : https://adamtheautomator.com/pswindowsupdate/#Installing_the_PSWindowsUpdate_Module
After installing this, you can use
Install-WindowsUpdate -AcceptAll -AutoReboot- Nyer00Copper ContributorI've tried this and no success, it says Downloaded and then a second later it shows Failed. Thanks for replying though.

Same for me. Initially the 22494 update started. It download and then just stopped. Subsequent attempts for Windows updates shows the same screen as yours. Various steps of the Windows Update troubleshooter failed to fix it
