Windows 10 won't update properly

[Tomsriv]

Hi All,
Every night my computer wakes from sleep and tries to install "2022-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5014699)" and it always fails and a day or two later it will try again. I tried the tricks where I go into dos and clean up the updates but it still does it again. Is this planned obsolencense?

Im assuming you've tried the command line (must be run as administrator) of

net stop wuauserv
net stop bits

delete the contents of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder

restart computer and try again to update.

Yes, I tried it that way twice. Any other ideas?

It will usually give you an error code on why it failed, we will need that code. Check your update history for the error code.

However I researched that update and its seems quite a few people are having the same issue even on a fresh install of windows.

In addition to John's post, try something quick. Go to Settings, Updates, Advanced options, Choose how updates are delivered and turn off if it is on. Try Windows Update again. Just something I saw today that may help believe it or not.

Also, I'd suggest trying the built in Troubleshooter for Windows Update by going to Settings app using Windows + I keyboard shortcut, click on Update & security -then select troubleshoot. Restart.
