They keep you protected by squashing nasty bugs, and your OS running as smoothly as possible. Even with Microsoft trying to make the process as pain-free as possible in recent versions of Windows , getting a Windows 10 update stuck may still happen to you.
We've got you covered. We're going to cover a lot of ground here for several versions of Windows and a variety of 'stuck' scenarios, so you may have to tweak some of these steps to suit your situation and software.
The first point to make is that interfering with updates that aren't actually stuck can cause a host of problems, so you want to make sure they really are stuck. If you've got the time, and the patience, we'd recommend waiting a couple of hours, especially with slower machines — go and cut the grass or watch a movie.
It may seem extreme, but you don't want to start meddling with these fundamental processes unless you really have to. Because it so often works. There's no magic trick to this — it simply clears out your computer's temporary memory including any stalled files or processes , and lets Windows start again from scratch with everything on the system.
If your updates are stuck in the background while you still have access to Windows, you can restart as normal; if they're stuck before or after the OS loads, you're going to have to hold down the power button and do a hard reset. This can cause issues itself, so make sure your updates definitely aren't progressing at all. Sometimes you'll just get a message telling you to try the update again at a different time. If you click 'Advanced options' and then 'View your update history', you can see recently installed updates that were successful, and uninstall some or all of them — again, this can be a handy troubleshooting option.
Windows 10 has actually streamlined the update process, so you should be seeing fewer errors. Microsoft feels your pain: it knows the update process can cause problems every now and again, which is why it's developed a troubleshooter program specifically for it — search the old Control Panel for "troubleshooting", then select 'Fix problems with Windows Update' from the list on-screen.

The recommended sequence worked for me, but not smoothly. I didn't learn until later the other methods to enter Safe Mode. The first time, wuauserv wouldn't stop.
Various other steps worked, or didn't work, maybe depending on timing. For example, when I tried to rename Catroot2, I got "Access is denied. Once it was stopped, the rename worked. The last command in the sequence, "net start msiserver" failed, eventually saying something like "the process didn't respond.
But then the "net start" command worked. Go figure. So, Microsoft Update is working again. Details required : characters remaining Cancel Submit 3 people found this reply helpful.
