6. other remedies

Try to clear all the files in the C:/Windows/softwaredistribution directory and restart the machine. (C:/Windows/softwaredistribution is the temporary file storage directory of the Windows Update Service)

If the machine prompts that the file is in use (the "Automatic Updates" service is running), the corresponding directory cannot be deleted:

Choose Control Panel ==> management tools ==> service, find "Automatic Updates", set it to manual start, restart it, and then delete C:/Windows/softwaredistribution. The problem is solved.

Then open control panel ==> management tools ==> service, find "Automatic Updates", and restore to automatic start and restart.

Note: After the restart, it is best to allow the system to complete automatic system updates in areas with good internet access conditions.
