Microsoft feels your pain: it knows the update process can cause problems every now and again, which is why it's developed a troubleshooter program specifically for it — search the old Control Panel for "troubleshooting", then select 'Fix problems with Windows Update' from the list on-screen.
The link should be available in Windows 7 and 8 too, but if not you can get at it on the web as well. That said, if you haven't yet upgraded to Microsoft's latest and greatest operating system then it's probably still worth your while , as it's more than likely to solve your update problems at the same time. Safe Mode is like a restart with extras — only the very basic apps and code that Windows needs to run are loaded into memory, so there's even less chance of a rogue, damaged file interfering with the update.
In Windows 10, hold down the Shift key then choose Power and Restart from the Windows sign-in screen. On the next screen you see pick Troubleshoot, Advanced Options, Startup Settings and Restart, and you should then see the Safe Mode option appear: try running through the update process again if you can. A quick search online will give you Safe Mode instructions for older versions of Windows.
System Restore has been helpful for solving Windows problems for many a year now, but it happens to be quite well hidden in Windows Go through the wizard, then choose 'Show more restore points' to see all your available options. Pick a time and date, then complete the wizard to go back to how Windows was configured at that point and hopefully solve your update issues at the same time. The process doesn't affect your personal files or programs, but it may not be available to you depending on how Windows was originally set up.
If Windows' own troubleshooter doesn't work see step 4 then you can try and carry out the same process yourself manually: stopping the Windows Update service, deleting the temporary files it's created, then starting Windows Update again.
It's a little more involved, but it's not difficult to do. First, boot up into Safe Mode see step 5 , then access to the command prompt, the most basic of Windows interfaces: right-click on the Start menu, choose Command Prompt Admin , and a text box should appear. Type "net stop wuauserv" and hit Enter, then follow that with "net stop bits" and hit Enter again.
Finish all the three parts above and reboot your computer again to check for the new Windows updates. Then all you need is to click the Ready to Install button to start the new installer and start the updates as soon as possible. Remember that if you faced any data loss through the process, you can use Bitwar Data Recovery Software to recover any lost data on your computer.
