Windows Update 7 stuck

[karimkahale]

I lately removed w10 installation files from windows 7 update and deleted all kb updates related to it, but now I'm stuck at the following message

I tried restarting many times but windows update is stuck like that now.
How can I possibly make it work again?

Thank You,
Karim Kahale
