Windows update troubleshooter aims to determine if any issues within the system prevent the installation of the updates. Follow these steps to start Windows Update troubleshooter:

4. Run System Scans
If the troubleshooter fails to identify issues within the system, then you can also use other system troubleshooter utilities like SFC and DISM.

In the event that SFC finds a corrupt file, it will replace it with its healthier cached version. In contrast, DISM repairs the system image. Before proceeding, make sure you are logged into Windows as an administrator because we will be using the Command Prompt to run these tools: Here is all that you need to do: Once this command is executed, close the Command Prompt window and check if you can now download the targeted updates.
