Hi Elvis,

Running the bat-file gave:

''[BITS] is not started'' / stopping wuauserv took a minute , then a stream of results and immediately the window closed.

I got the same error code when checking for updates.

Ok, reinstall windows 11 in this way:

Open Settings > System > Recovery, under Fix problems using Windows Update, click Reinstall Now

Once completed, your system will restart.

let me know

Hi @Stefan Langeveld , Welcome in Community

proceed in this way, press the WIN + X buttons and open terminal (admin), now type

net stop bits

net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptsvc

ren %systemroot%\System32\Catroot2 oldcatroot2

net start cryptsvc

del /f /q %windir%\WindowsUpdate.log

del /f /s /q %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\*.*

Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%ApplicationDataMicrosoftNetworkDownloaderqmgr*.dat"

del %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Logs\edb.log

net start bits

net start wuauserv

after each command press enter

if you want you can create a text file from notepad, save it as All files type and give it a .bat extension

then run it as administrator

after doing so, try again with the updates

let me know
