try deleting the folder c:\windows\softwaredistribution (or the contents therein), it is where the updates are downloaded to. Then go into settings and check for updates to download and install the update. Maybe the download is corrupted.
Try switching to a different network (like a wired connection or a different Wi-Fi) to see if the download progresses.
Go to Settings > Windows Update > Windows Insider Program.
Confirm that you are enrolled in the Canary, Dev, or Beta channel, depending on your preference.
If you switched channels recently, it might affect updates.
Run Command Prompt as an administrator, execute the following commands in sequence: net stop wuauserv, `net stop bits`. Subsequently, delete all files within the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder. Finally, execute net start wuauserv, net start bits and restart the computer.
