To clear the obsolete updates from the Windows Updates page in Settings, try one of these options:<\/p>\n
Option 1: Clear the Qmgr cache files<\/h3>\n
Clear the Qmgr cache files by running the following commands from admin PowerShell:<\/p>\n
Get-Service -Name wuauserv,bits,cryptsvc | Stop-Service<\/pre>\nRemove-Item -Path \"$env:ALLUSERSPROFILE\\Application Data\\Microsoft\\Network\\Downloader\\qmgr*.dat\"<\/pre>\nRename-Item $env:systemroot\\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.bak<\/pre>\nOption 2: Attempt to install the updates and let them fail<\/h3>\n
If that doesn’t help,\u00a0try to install the updates by clicking “Install Updates” and let them fail. Repeat it and recheck for updates until the updates disappear from the list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
