Is my Windows upgrade installation really running?

My Software Center app in Windows 10 Enterprise is permanently showing that a Windows upgrade is installing but the status remains there after 3 days even after a few manual computer restarts and even after restarting of Windows Update and SMS Agent Host services (with deletion of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore directory in between).





  • The Installing... state (see screenshot below) is visible immediately after restart.

  • The Cancel button is disabled all the time.

  • Manual restart procedure never displays things like Updating your computer.



How can I stop and restart this stuck installation or at least check whether the installer is doing something?
