Windows app to fix problems
Windows comes with a wizard for fixing errors on Windows Update. In many cases it can help you identify the issue that prevents Windows updates. True, it might not fix all update issues; however, it can resolve many of them.
First in the search type Windows Update problems or find and fix Windows Update problems. An application will appear that you should open.
Then, in the window that appears, just click on next.
Afterwards the application will check if there are any problems and if so it will solve them.
After that, just run Windows Update again and check if the situation is resolved.
file verification system
There are several possible causes for this error code, but the most common is a temporary issue or a corrupted system file. In this case, you will have to use a built-in tool called System File Checker to repair the damaged files. The procedure to run this tool is as follows:
sfc /scannow
To do this, type in the command line search. Then choose the Run as administrator option.
It’s just that to run this service it’s really necessary to have this type of privileges.
Then in the new window just put the command and wait for the process to finish.
Depending on the space occupied and the size of the disk, it may take more or less time.
When the process is finished we are informed about what has been repaired.
You can perform other tasks while the system verifies the data. After completing the process, restart your computer and try to update Windows again.
If the problem continues, you should run the DISM check to repair any corrupted system images and restore system files. So go back to the search and run the command line again with administration privileges.
However, now you must run the command:
Dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
Dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
