This tutorial will show you how to completely reset Windows Update components and policies to default in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Windows Update keeps Windows 11 updated by automatically downloading and installing the latest updates, drivers, and hotfixes released by Microsoft.

Sometimes you may have an issue with Windows Update such as not being able to download or install updates, error messages, not being able to search for new updates, cancel pending update(s), pending update(s) issue, etc. These kind of issues can occur when the Windows Update database or components are corrupted, one or more services related to Windows Update are not running, etc.

Resetting the Windows Update components can usually solve these types of issues.

References:


You must be signed in as an administrator to reset Windows Update.

Resetting Windows Update will not clear Windows Update history.

2 Save the ZIP file to your desktop.

3 Unblock the ZIP file.

4 Extract the BAT file from the ZIP file.

5 Run the .bat file.

6 If prompted by UAC, click/tap on Yes to approve run as administrator.

7 When resetting Windows Update has finished you will be prompted to Please save and close anything open now, before the computer is restarted., and press any key to continue when ready. (see screenshot below)

If a service fails to stop after 3 attempts, the .bat file will automatically end with a "Failed to reset Windows Update" message and prompt to press a key to continue.

When a key is pressed, the .bat file will then restart any service it had stopped before closing the command prompt.


7 You will now be prompted to press any key to Restart computer now.

This will immediately restart the computer. Save and close anything open before continuing.

It is important to restart the computer immediately after running the .bat file to apply without opening anything else.

Hello Julian, and welcome. :alien:

It sounds like the command may not have finished from the BAT.

Are you able to hold down the power button until the PC powers off, then press the power button once to restart?

I tried but the result is the same

Edit: bat file seemed to work with no errors, this happened after it prompted to restart and restarted, besides power button nothing works
Edit 2: the command line is technically the whole screen (it's what you would see if you shared the cmd window on discord)

It shouldn't have caused that.

You could see if you may be able to do a system restore at boot using a restore point dated before this happened to undo it.

I found the solution.
I didn't have a restore point so I tried searching on other websites for a fix.
Tried the number 3 on this list (Unplug All Your USB Devices) and worked: Windows 10 Won't Boot? 13 Fixes to Get Your PC Running Again

Edit: these were the connected USB devices: keyboard, USB bluetooth 5.0 antenna, small system info screen, USB Camera
Edit 2: this issue also fixed the issue that I joined windows insider, which I wasn't in either of my microsoft accounts

Brutally brilliant.

Had WU stuck with a 22H2 update although the system (T61) was already updated to 22631.3007. Couldn't even install optional updates as they gave the exact same error.

Finally found this one and voila working perfectly again.

Hey,

Thank you for the proposed solution.

I tried to use the BAT file as explained, and it ran smoothly. However, the WU still wont install. The return error is 0x80070103. Do you have any suggestions for a further fix?

I can't even unlock the .bat. The options is'nt there. Anyway, once running the .bat I recieve the following message:

Cannot reset Windows Update since "Windows Update" (wuauserv) service failed to stop. Please restart the computer, and try again.

Press any key to continue . . .
The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service is starting.


I'm lost.

Hello, and welcome. :alien:

That's ok. Go ahead and restart the computer, then try running the BAT file again using "Run as administrator" to see if it can successfully run this time.

Really useful and thanks. Still struggling with my update issues, researching someone mentions "Turns out I also needed to delete C:\ProgramData\USOPrivate and C:\ProgramData\USOShared in addition to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and C:\Windows\system32\catroot2" (source), not sure if useful but just in case it needs to be included.

Hi Brink. I had a few windows update problems - checking for updates didn't finish. I ran the BAT file and it has fixed the problem. My question is, if the BAT file renamed folders can I run the file again in the future if problems occur or is it a 1 time solution? Thanks again. Jim.

Hello Jim, :alien:

You will be able to use the BAT file as many times as needed. It will check for the renamed folders, and delete/replace them.
