I recently restarted my computer and got a notification that Windows was installing an update, which stalled on 100%, meaning I had to manually force the restart to continue. After the computer booted back up, I got a message saying that Windows could not install updates.
I've tried restarting since then, but Windows no-longer even attempts to install the update. I am still getting notifications from Windows periodically, telling me an update failed. When I click on the failed update notification it merely shows me a list of previously installed updates, but not the failed installation.
The last entry shown is:
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool for Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, 2016 x64 Edition - March 2017 (KB890830)
How do I clear the failed update and force Windows to update again? It would also be useful to find out what update Windows attempted to install. Is there a log with this info, perhaps?
Answer
If the automatic setup via Windows Update fails, get the MSU for KB4013429 (March 2017 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 V1607) on your own from the Update catalog.
Double click on the MSU to install the update.
