Welcome to HP Support Community,
Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue
Restart Your PC
A simple restart can sometimes clear any temporary update issues.
Run Windows Update Troubleshooter
- Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters.
- Select Windows Update and then click Run the troubleshooter. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Manually Install Pending Updates
- Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
- If updates are still showing as "retry," try downloading and installing them manually.
Uninstall Problematic Updates (Optional)
- Go to Settings > Update & Security > View Update History.
- If you notice a specific update that’s causing the problem, click Uninstall updates and remove it.
Try Updating Again
After clearing the cache and resetting, try checking for updates again.
I hope these steps help resolve the issue
