Free up disk space: Ensure your system has enough free storage (at least 16 GB for 32-bit OS or 20 GB for 64-bit OS). Backup important files before proceeding.
Restart your device: Many updates require a restart. Save your work, close applications, and choose either "Update and restart" or "Update and shut down" from the power menu.
Remove external devices: Disconnect unnecessary hardware like USB drives, docks, and printers before attempting another update.
If you encounter specific issues during updates, consider running services related to Windows Update with automatic startup settings using Command Prompt (services.msc). Then run commands like DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup and SFC /Scannow to repair system files.
If the problem persists, consider seeking further assistance from Microsoft Support or the Microsoft Community forums.
