Windows update problem

It's why I'll never use Windows Update, and partly why I have Windows 10 LTSB. I don't personally know how to remedy this, but for some reason it does seem like a normal thing amongst Windows machines. Why and how that's acceptable? Idk either. It can take a few hours sometimes. A YouTuber I love watching uses his Windows 10 laptop to tune his cars for his channel. He ran into this same thing in one of his last videos and it took about 3 hours or so (though on the bright side he was able to polish the car while he waited). I see no reason it should take this long, and I see no reason why MS can't just address it already.

I also have Windows 10 but the LTSC (only just updated) and would use nothing else.

Thank you.

 

@OP Unfortunately this isn't a bug I commonly deal with so I haven't had the pleasure of trying to troubleshoot it. Unless the system was shutdown during an update I would say it's an issue rooted in the OS. There's a fair chance we won't be able to help outside of recommending initiating a manual update. Rolling back an update. Or reinstalling Windows. These could potentially stop the errors but even then it's not a guarantee that they won't just start up again.

What does the logs says? Which update are being attempted to be installed?

 

In general speak:

• Make sure that ALL your drivers (chipset, SATA controller, audio, printer, etc) are fully updated.
• If you have a security software, make sure they are fully up-to-date.
• If you have games, makes sure these games are fully updated prior of the update. Why? Because, they may feature anti-cheat system which uses exploits that have been patched, or undocumented APIs that has been changed. Microsoft has worked with anti-cheat companies to resolve the issues for those affected, and now games needs to be updated. (This affected only Windows 10 1903 update, but as you didn't mention which updates, I am assuming it can be possibility if you have not updated yet).
