for solution 3 the first “ren” one doesn’t work for me. It says the syntax is incorrect if i have a space between ren and C: and then without a space it says that “The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.”
But Solution 3 stopped the updates, i don’t want to stop the updates i want to install them, i already downloaded them but it does not want to install and the installation is freezing at 75% (please check the attached https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b690a9cfe2da5b49eed7150c10fd711fd81819591613d3ca7a6fa8a083b834e0.png screen shot)
yes they can be deleted

Okay I just spent 5 hours doing every single step and finally got it to work using something else. I just it replace SC config trustedinstaller start= auto as a command for service.msc. I did everything else including renaming to the .old extensions. Can I now delete the .old extensions are they are taking up space? Oh and thank goodness for having a solidstate drive so I could boot well into 100 times. I tried using MS’ recommendation and disabled all services and startup as well which isn’t listed in this article. AKA Clean booting.
Hi, I’m having an issue where the update fails to install, the update troubleshooter tells me to update the BIOS but I have the latest BIOS version installed! Help!
Boot laptop with Windows 10. Before allowing it to connect to the internet, disable the Windows Update service. Problems SOLVED! (And be careful what you click on in future).
I had the same problem (Windows Update service could not be stopped). I was running Windows PowerShell (Admin) since there was no command prompt in the menu. It appears to have the same functionality as command prompt did in previous versions.
It worked. Solution 3. Good job. Thank you very much!
The following setting saved me and windows updates started installing updates that were stuck at 0% downloading. Also Windows Store started downloading apps again.
Group policy editor → Local Computer Policy → Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → Windows Components → Delivery Optimization → Download mode → Set to 100 (Bypass)
Diagnosed with powershell command: Get-WindowsUpdateLog
Found:
DO job {…} hit a transient error
DO stand for delivery optimization.
Her Barrett Smith,
Which update are you trying to download and Install? I suggest you head over to the Microsoft Update Catalog here: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/
Then search for the update you are trying to download, once downloaded you can manually Install it by double-clicking on the file and following the on-screen instructions.
Solution 5 is what the problem was but I did solution 2 and it’s installing now slowly but it’s updating but for my device it’s either Windows Update which can be changed but Windows Update Medic Service is denied to change.
I just had this problem and this was the saving grace
I suggest you try Disabling Real-Time protection from Windows Defender here is how you can do that:
- Open Windows Settings app, Head over to “Update & Security” Go to the Windows Security tab.
- Now click “Virus & threat protection settings” Switch Real-time protection to Off.
- Try installing the updates again and it should work this time. Once the updates are installed please turn on Real-time protection again.
If that doesn’t work for you, you can try to repair your Windows through DISM Utility try this:
- Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
- Type “DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth” and press enter.
- Wait for a while till the process is completed and then restart your computer.
Keep in mind that this process can take some depending on your Computer and the Number of issues present in your Windows. Let me know the results you get from these solutions so I can assist you further.
none of these solutions work for the 2020 bug…
An ASUS laptop downloads all minor updates but it stopped downloading the big ones (i.e October 2020 20H2). All settings that will allow for Win Updates to work are OK. All drivers upated, no corrupt media. A msg "You system is not ready for update " or smth pops up in every attempt.
Any idea what might be wrong with this? The May 2020 update never happened…
This issue was occurred to me personally a while ago, first of all, try to click on the retry button repeatedly a couple of times which might kickstart them into working. If that doesn’t work, try to put the computer in safe mode and try to install updates. Also, try to switch networks and check if it works. Also make sure that the network that you are using is set to “Private” in the settings. If that doesn’t work, download the latest ISO from the Windows’ website and create a bootable USB. Install a fresh copy of Windows from the Microsoft website and install them on the computer to get the latest updates installed automatically.
Open the command prompt with administrative privileges.
They are valid for both.
do you get an exact error code?
