Windows 10 Can’t Install Windows Updates

Problem: I can’t install updates anymore in Windows 10 after Windows Update got crashed one day due to some issue (like Internet or power failure or system crash).

Solution: The problem occurs because Windows Update files get corrupted due to the issue. Hence, removing the corrupted files solves the issue, which can be done easily by following these steps:

• Press Win+R keys to open the Run dialog

• Type “C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download” and press OK

• File Explorer gets open – delete all the files/folders in this directory (in case you can’t delete the files, boot Windows into ‘safe mode’ and then try deleting the files)

• Restart your PC and try running the Windows Update again – it will work.
