Windows 10 update not working

[cranberriesleopard]

While updating Windows, the process was taking too long, so I decided to shut down the computer. It then showed a message saying the update couldn’t be completed and was undoing the changes. Since then, I haven’t been able to update Windows 10 at all. Updates always fail, stopping at 98% and rolling back changes. Everything I’ve tried—like running sfc /scannow, using the troubleshooter, and following various online fixes—hasn’t worked. I’d rather not reinstall Windows from scratch because of the time and effort involved. Can anyone help me find a solution?

If Windows 10 update is not working, try these:

1. Run Update Troubleshooter → Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Windows Update.
2. Restart Update Services → Open services.msc, restart Windows Update, BITS, Cryptographic Services.
3. Clear Update Cache → Open Command Prompt (Admin) and run: net stop wuauserv
   net stop bits
   del /s /q %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\*
   net start wuauserv
   net start bits
   
   
4. Manually Install Update → Download the latest KB update from Microsoft Update Catalog.
5. Use Windows Update Assistant → Download from here to force update.
