• How to get Win10 updating again

    Posted on July 7, 2016 at 10:22 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Interesting question from NC:

    I’ve a newish Dell machine which came with Windows 10 pre-installed.

    I’ve used your “metered connection” trick to stop updates. The last updates installed were 28th May this year.

    I have now removed the “metered connection” to grab new updates, but the updates are stuck on 0%.

    There seem to be lots of varied “solutions” to this problem on the internet, some of which look dubious. Do you have or know of the preferred approach?

    My first approach would be to ensure metered connection is turned off, then reboot. Try applying the updates manually (Start > Settings > Updates & security, click Check for Updates). What happens?
