When it gets to 100% complete...it tells me it was unable to download the updates. (I can't remember the wording exactly)....Any ideas why it won't download the updates...and how to solve it? Thanks
I had the same problem awhile back with W10’s first major update. I just ran the built in diagnostic repair tool to resolve the issue. As to the why? Being closed sourced and the complexity of the OS and its dependencies/compatibilities of its own and other programs/hardware, that’s best left answered by the Microsoft team.
Windows 10:
Go To > Start > Windows Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Windows Update > Run the Trouble-shooter. Do the same thing with Hardware & Devices from the list.
Windows 7:
I can’t remember the exact path but the trouble-shooter (or namesake like fix, repair) for windows update is buried somewhere within the control panel.
Failing that, an internet search of your problem will provide you with other possible solutions.
Remember, the internet is your friend that can make keyboard experts out of all of us, regardless of competency. Just ask it the right question.
