Question:
I am trying to update one of my Windows 10 operating system, but it has been stuck in Initializing status.
The update in question is: [Internal – Corpnet Required] 2018-08 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64-based Systems (KB4343909)
I tried to search for [Internal – Corpnet Required]
, but there are no results. I'm not sure why Windows Update is stuck. The strange thing is, I was able to successfully install update (KB4343909) on my other Windows 10 machine.
Does anybody know what [Internal – Corpnet Required]
is? And why it would be causing my windows 10 update to be stuck in Initializing status?
Here is the result of running winver
:
Update:
Running the Fresh Start utility seems to have fixed my issue with Windows Update.
Update 2:
After running the Fresh Start utility, I reinstalled software on Windows 10 such as TeamViewer
, Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition
and SQL Server 2017 Developer Edition
. Afterwards, I am getting the same Windows 10 Update issue all over again.
Best Answer
When having problems with Windows Update, here are a few possible actions:
Run PC Settings, Update & Security, Troubleshoot, and choose Windows Update
Run Microsoft's Windows Update Troubleshooter
sfc /scannow - check Windows integrity.
After resetting Windows Update as in the first point above, rename
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download
as explained in this answer and reboot. If this doesn't help, redo again but rename insteadC:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution
and reboot.
