Alright i had this problem before after doing the windows 8.1 update where updates would not install and just hang on the Installing Updates Screen and never advance further.
I fixed it by doing this:
But next time i went to install updates it was back to hanging. That processes took several hours last time so i dont want to have to keep doing it to install updates.
So i was wondering if anyone had any other ideas to get Windows Update working again.
I fixed it by doing this:
From the elevated command prompt:
- Run: chkdsk c: /r =====> This might take a while to complete.
- dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
- sfc /scannow
- Delete everything under: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
- Try to run Windows Updates again.
