Windows 10 update fail

[Deleted User]

Despite repeated attempts over many weeks the latest Windows update is failing to load on my PC.
As well as Defender I run Ghostery and Express VPN.
I have tried running the update without the latter two but without success.
I'd be grateful for any tips.
Thanks.

Hi,

have you tried Troubleshooting, use Search > System and Security > Fix Update Problems.

Theres a standalone windows update tool on the Microsoft web site 

It manages updates better in my opinion

Use the Windows Update Troubleshooter.  It is built into Windows.

As suggested above, run the update tool here  ->   https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10

if that doesn't work google the error code.

Try deleting all files in the following location

C:\Windows\Software distribution\Download   I have done this in the past and then Windows update has re-downloaded everything it needs.

One one family lap top, that didn't work so I deleted all the contents of the C:\Windows\Software distribution folder as I was feeling brave and that did the trick.

Delete contents, reboot, run windows update.

hope this helps

I still use Windows 7 lol. I think it's time to move on a new OS.
