    Try Startup Repair, Uninstall Updates (latest quality/feature update), or System Restore. If Windows loads, run the Windows Update Troubleshooter, install all updates, and if you’re in the Insider Program, update to a newer build or leave it. If not, the expiration warning is usually false and fixed by the latest cumulative updates. Back up files first if possible.

    Hello,

    It looks like you're running an Insider Preview build of Windows 10, which has already expired.

    May I please know the version or edition of the Windows Operating system installed on your device?

    • Type 'winver' in the search bar on the taskbar and click Enter.
    • Post a screenshot of the resulting dialog box.

    This is most likely related to an outdated Windows build, especially since you’re getting the “This build of Windows will expire soon” notification repeatedly.

    First, check the exact OS version and build using winver, then update to the latest supported build. If “Working on updates” has been stuck for a week, that’s not normal and indicates Windows Update may be stuck or its update components may need to be repaired.

    I wouldn’t recommend resetting or reinstalling Windows before checking the current build number and Windows Update status.
