## Purpose
Sometimes when you try to run Windows Updates, you may run into issues where updates just fail to install for seemingly nebulous reasons. You can run the following commands (in order) to try to resolve the issue.
```powershell
# Imaging Integrity Repair Tools
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
sfc /scannow
# Stop all Windows Update Services (In Order) to Unlock Underlying folders.
net stop usosvc
net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
net stop cryptsvc
# Purge the Windows Update Cache Folders and Recreate Them
rd /s /q %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
rd /s /q %windir%\System32\catroot2
mkdir %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
mkdir %windir%\System32\catroot2
# Start all Windows Update Servers (In Order)
net start cryptsvc
net start bits
net start wuauserv
net start usosvc
```
!!! info "Attempt Windows Updates"
At this point, you can try re-running Windows Updates and seeing if the device makes it past the errors and installs the updates successfully or not. If not, **panic**.
