updates not downloading


I have updated my laptop to windows 10 been using it for 2 months now , no updates have been downloaded when I check there are some in the box but it says under them waiting to download one says downloading but nothing is happening . Is there something I am not doing to get the downloads to work. I do have a internet connection would appreciate some help

Sometimes it will show you nothing is happening but it actually is, just give it time and wait it out . While its doing that can you surf the web, if so ? Then you know at least you have the internet and from what you mention you do.

Hi yes I can surf the web thanks for the reply sn00ker

do you have battery saver on?

do you have battery saver on?
yes

yes
Turn it off for a test, refresh. Battery saver eliminates background services, one of which is win updates. Ask me how I know :-)

yes
Do you have the windows firewall on or off?

Are you using a 3rd party firewall such as Norton Internet Security as the firewall?

If you are then that was my problem. I turned on the Windows firewall instead and all my updates worked! My store apps had been stuck and I was able to update all 18 of them perfectly as well as the windows update that kept failing.

Give that a shot!
