It is recommended to rename the folders C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and Windows 10 Update errors are of a different nature and are classified according to different criteria. It is not necessary to immediately contact the service center with a suspected hardware failure. After all, problems often arise due to incorrect operation of the software, which can be completely solved on your own. Updates are an important part of any software and Windows is no exception. In this article, we will look at how to configure Windows 7 updates. I will write down all the possible ... Windows 10 differs from previous versions of the OS in that when you download the next update package, along with fixing existing shortcomings and adding new features, as a rule, new problems and errors appear in the process of its operation. But today we will consider what should be done if Windows 10 updates are not downloaded due to a stop in the update center or problems with its functioning, which was also inherent in Windows 8 before the release of a large-scale update, edited 8.1. The proposed material will tell you what to do when updates on Windows 10 are not downloaded or their download is interrupted, having familiarized yourself with the causes of the problem, how to solve it, and other options for updating the "dozens" without affecting the Update Center. The very first thing to do is to use the application to fix problems that arise while downloading updates for the "dozens". Moreover, in the new version of the OS, the utility has become much more efficient. 1. The tool is launched via the Control Panel applet called "Troubleshooting" when the window elements are displayed as "Icons". 2. We find the subsection "System / Security" and follow the link "Troubleshooting through Windows Update". As a result, the “ten” will launch a program to identify and fix problems that prevent the search and download of updates for Windows 10. After the scan is completed, some of the problem factors may be resolved automatically and without prompting. For the rest, you will have to click "Apply Fix" or "Skip Fix" to troubleshoot other problems or complete the wizard. At the end of the utility, information about detected and fixed problems, as well as problems that could not be fixed in automatic mode, will appear. 4. Click "Close" and restart Windows 10. 5. We start the Update Center and check if the detected updates are downloaded if the center has started. There is also a BITS Background Intelligent Transfer Service tool in the Troubleshooting section. Try to search for problems using this service, the likelihood that it will become a lifeline is small, but it is. It happens that the troubleshooting utility does not cope with the task of clearing the cache, and it has to be done manually. This is done in the following way. 1. Deactivate the Internet connection. The best way to do this is programmatically through the network icon in the taskbar. 2. We call the command line with administrator privileges (via the Win → X menu or the Start context menu). 3. Alternately enter and execute a chain of commands using Enter: 4. Without closing the command line window, go to the "Windows" directory and delete the "SoftwareDistribution" folder from it. 5. We return to the command line and execute the commands: net start bits and net start wuauserv. 6. We connect to the Internet and check if the detected updates are downloaded through the Update Center. Microsoft provided the download option, and for users who do not have the Internet, its traffic is limited or the Update Center does not function properly, as in this case. Here you need the Windows Update Minitool utility. 2. If this is done using IE, follow the link "Internet Explorer" (let's look at its example), otherwise click "Microsoft Download Center". 3. Enter the update code that you want to download for offline installation and click "Add". The system will automatically determine the bitness of your OS, and if the file does not contain information about the bitness, it is intended for x86. 4. Click on the "View Cart" button. 5. Upon completion of adding the required files, click "Upload". Users of the forum.ru-board.com forum have created a portable program called Windows Update Minitool, which uses the Update Center to function, but overtakes it in functionality. In this way, you can update Windows 10 when the Update Center is not working, the computer does not have access to the Internet, or wireless Internet is used with limited traffic. In addition to the methods described above, update the top ten, the following points should be considered: And be sure to make sure that you did not deactivate the automatic update of Windows 10, which caused the inability to download files for the dozens update. At the moment, there are three different issues that Windows 10 users face when installing updates. Firstly, this is an error downloading the update or freezing the download process. Secondly, these are problems during the installation of the update, and finally, the system crashes with a BSOD after a reboot. Below are a few possible troubleshooting solutions. If the cumulative update does not download, try the following steps: If the cumulative update hangs while downloading or installation fails, then something has gone wrong with the update files. After clearing the folder containing the update files, Windows Update will try to download the update components again. Navigate to the following location: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download Delete all files/folders, but don't delete the Download folder itself. Select all files and folders using CTRL + A and press the Delete key to delete. Restart your computer and run the update procedure again. If the cumulative update hangs while downloading, try the following solution: Stop the Windows Update service If stopping the Delivery Optimization service does not solve the problem, additionally try stopping the Windows Update service. If the Windows 10 update is stuck at the “Initializing...,” try the following solution: Completely reset the Windows Update client settings. It has been tested on Windows 7, 8, 10 and Server 2012 R2. The script will configure services and registry keys related to Windows Update, restoring the default settings. It will also clean up files related to Windows Update. In some cases, you may encounter a problem installing an update. If the installation of the update is stuck at some stage, then try the next solution. If your computer freezes at the stage, then follow the instructions below. Some users may encounter a stop error that causes a blue screen of death (BSOD) to be displayed during a system reboot. If you're experiencing a BSOD crash while updating Windows 10, check out the article: After installing Windows 10 updates, you may encounter some issues such as internet connection errors. To fix these issues, you need to run the following commands from a command prompt (cmd.exe). In the search box on the taskbar, type Command line, press and hold (or right-click) "Command Prompt" and select "Run as administrator". After opening the command prompt, enter the following commands one by one: netsh winsock reset catalog netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log If you are still experiencing the "No Internet Connection" issue, please update your computer's IP address. To do this, open a command prompt (Win + R, enter cmd.exe and press Enter) and enter the following command: ipconfig /renew Sometimes you may need to disable the installation of Windows 10 updates on your computer. Windows 10 Pro users can delay updates for a set amount of time, but Windows 10 Home users don't. Microsoft has provided a separate "Show or hide updates" tool to disable the cumulative update or even drivers. You can use the official DISM commands to restore a Windows image to fix any problem with your updates. Before you start, it is recommended to make a full system backup or create a system restore point in case something goes wrong. Using the CheckHealth option in DISM Command /CheckHealth in DISM allows you to detect potential corruption. This command is only used to find corruption, but does not perform troubleshooting operations. Command line, right-click on the link that appears and select "Run as administrator" because DISM requires device administrator rights to run. DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth UsageoptionsScanHealth'sDISM Command / ScanHealth in DISM allows you to scan the Windows image for any damage. Unlike /CheckHealth, /ScanHealth can take up to 10 minutes. Follow these steps to run this command: 1. Type in the search menu Start Command line 2. At the "Command Prompt", type the following command and press Enter: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth UsageoptionsRestoreHealth inDISM Command /RestoreHealth in DISM allows you to automatically restore corrupted Windows images. Unlike /ScanHealth, the /RestoreHealth check can take up to 10 minutes. Follow these steps to run this command: 1. Type in the search menu Start Command line, right-click on the link that appears and select "Run as administrator". 2. At the "Command Prompt", type the following command and press Enter: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Note: while running /RestoreHealth or /ScanHealth, you may notice the procedure hanging between 20% or 40% - this is completely normal behavior.
