Hello,

Please run Windows Update troubleshooter from Settings app > Update & security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters. See if it works.

If that doesn't work, try this:

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.

Let us know if this helps!
It was never going to be easy.

That also happened with my update. Same error code so thanks joeandmarg0 since I thought was just me. SYSGeeker UltraDMG.

 

Sometimes, Windows Update might not be able to check for updates automatically. Try checking for updates manually:

Open Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
Click on "Check for updates" to initiate the update process.
This worked for me, thank you
Contact someone at Microsoft.
Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter (available in Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot).

@awaismh30 1. Driver issues: Driver incompatibility issues may be encountered during the update process. This usually happens after a system update, as the new system may require updating or reinstalling certain drivers.
2. Compatibility issues: Certain software may not be compatible with the new version of Windows, causing the update to fail.
3. Insufficient system resources: If your computer has insufficient hard disk space or insufficient memory, it may also affect the update process.
Check hardware and drivers: Make sure that all hardware devices are working properly and that the drivers are up-to-date.
Clear disk space: Make sure your computer has enough storage space to download and install updates.
Run Windows Update Troubleshooter: Windows provides a built-in update troubleshooting tool that can help you detect and resolve problems.
Check for error codes: If the update fails with an error code such as 0x80070643, you can find a specific solution by searching for this error code.
Reset or restore: If nothing else works, you may need to consider resetting or restoring your Windows installation
