Hi,
I've got a notebook with Windows 10 Home 21H2 System Build 19044.1526 where Windows Update stopped working.
It is stuck to checking updates without doing nothing else.
I already tried sfc and dism with no luck.

I've run scfix and it says that it finds no errors.

I attach zip file with scfix log file and CBS folder.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

Have you tried to update this system to Windows 11?

  • Open Windows Explorer and browse to the C:\Windows\Logs folder.
  • Right-click on the CBS folder and choose Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
  • Now the message will appear, "Windows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder here. Do you want it to be placed on the desktop instead?"
  • Click on the Yes button here.

Hi, yes. It is the notebook of a friend of mine which wanted to upgrade to Windows 11. I think he tried the installation already.

Attached the logs. Thanks
