Windows Update alternates between giving an error and just 'stuck' on the download (I have left it running for 12 hours!! but was still got stuck at 5%)
I have run the Windows Update Troubleshooter which reports a Fix but to no avail.
I have run sfc /scannow - first time thru it reported errors that could only be fixed on a reboot. Update still failed.
Second time sfc was run it reported unfixable errors.
I have run DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth which reported reparable errors BUT
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth reported a source file missing (I can't now remember the exact message)
