Hello. I've had a problem with my updates, specifically that they keep failing at the installation stage. I've had this issue since the 2021-04 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 20H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5003173), and haven't been able to install either 2021-04 or 2021-05.
I've tried running Windows Update Troubleshooter, but it gets stuck at the resolving issues page, and doesn't progress further. I've also tried entering the following commands in admin command prompt :-
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver
but that doesn't work, either. When I type in Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old and Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old, I get a message saying Access Denied. Is this because of a blocker that I've got installed? Will disabling the blocker fix this?
If not, is there any other way to resolve this issue? Sincerely appreciate any help that I could get on this.
