Updates for Windows 10 operating system are not something that you need to be terribly worried about as Windows Update automatically downloads and installs available updates in the background. And the best part is that Windows 10 doesn’t force you restart your PC in the middle of something right after installing updates.
At times, while downloading and installing updates, you might notice that Windows Update has stuck at 0%, 30% or 99% without displaying any specific error. When the Windows Update is stuck at a particular figure without any progress, it usually doesn’t display any error. Because Windows Update doesn’t display error, users find it hard to diagnose the issue.
If Windows Update on your Windows 10 PC is stuck at a particular figure for hours, you can use the given below instructions to download and install available updates without any issues.
Restart your PC and check for updates again
If Windows Update is stuck at a particular figure for more than an hour, we advise you restart your PC once and then navigate to Settings app > Update & security > Windows Update and click Check for updates button. This method doesn’t work all the time, but it’s always a good idea to restart PC when there is an issue with Windows.
