My CPU is okay, my Memory, Disk space, except for my Operating system. I dont really know what it is but how do I fix it? And I'm also too broke to buy a new PC.

    Hello

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    Here are some steps you can try to fix:

    1. Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter:

    • Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot.

    • Select Windows Update and run the troubleshooter.

    1. Clear the Software Distribution Folder:

    • Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run:

    net stop wuauserv

    net stop cryptSvc

    net stop bits

    net stop msiserver

    ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

    ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old

    net start wuauserv

    net start cryptSvc

    net start bits

    net start msiserver

    • Restart your computer and try updating again.

    1. Temporarily disable any third-party antivirus software as it might interfere with the update process.

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

    Best Regards,

    Daisy Zhou
