Windows Update is stuck – how do I fix it?

Possible causes: Slow internet connection, corrupted update files, or a system error. **Steps:** 1) Wait at least 30 minutes – updates can sometimes take a long time. 2) Restart the PC (if necessary by holding down the power button). 3) Run the Windows troubleshooter: **Settings → Update & Security → Troubleshoot → Windows Update**. 4) Clear the update cache: open Command Prompt as Administrator and enter: **net stop wuauserv** → **del %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Download\*** → **net start wuauserv**. 5) If the update is still stuck, download the latest update manually from the Microsoft website.
