I figured out why my Windows updates kept failing — and it wasn’t my internet

Windows Update had recently stopped installing patches on my computer. The download bar moved a little, then froze and returned the same error code each time. I went through the usual connection checks. I restarted the router, switched to my hotspot, and even tried the update at different hours, but nothing changed. Meanwhile, everything else on the internet was working normally. I could stream video, sync files, and download apps with no interruptions. It was clearly a Windows issue and not something to do with the network.
