This should be established automatically during Windows 10 reboot. But you can try also the following steps. <\/p>\n<p>1. Open a command prompt windows with administrative privileges (see <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210512202711\/https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2016\/07\/06\/windows10-open-command-prompt-window-as-administrator\/\">Windows 10: Open command prompt window as administrator<\/a>). <\/p>\n<p>2. Enter the commands given below and press enter. <\/p>\n<p>net stop bits<br \/>net stop wuauserv<br \/>net start bits<br \/>net start wuauserv <\/p>\n<p>If that doesn't help, try to check and repair your Windows component store using the command: <\/p>\n<p><em>DISM \/Online \/Cleanup-Image \/RestoreHealth<\/em> <\/p>\n<p>See also my blog post <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2016\/07\/08\/check-and-repair-windows-system-files-and-component-store\/\">Check and repair Windows system files and component store<\/a>.
