sometimes restart works as these guys suggest:
Do you know why "have you tried turning it off and on again" is such an IT support cliché? Because when it comes to being able to quickly fix a stuck Windows update, it so often works. There's no magic trick to this – it simply clears out your computer's temporary memory (including any stalled files or processes), and lets Windows start again from scratch with everything on the system.
If your updates are stuck in the background while you still have access to Windows, you can restart as normal; if they're stuck before or after the OS loads, you're going to have to hold down the power button and do a hard reset. This can cause issues itself, so make sure your updates definitely aren't progressing at all.
