The common one is that it may prompt you with error code like 0xxxxxx – Windows 10 cannot install because other updates are being installed. But, we didn’t have any ongoing update installs at that time. If you face the similar kind of issue, just click on help then download WindownUpdateDiagnostic app and fire the application. It will check and resolve all the problems. It will also solve other errors successfully.
Once we are done with diagnostic process, we restarted our laptop and tried to download the Windows 10, which allowed us to download it successfully. It took couple of hours to finish the installation but it’s worth for your time.
