Hello, in this video we are going to solve a problem that is appearing in the Windows 11 update window, Windows Update. And it is that after updating Windows 11 to some users like this computer, this message appears. In this video I am going to teach you step by step how to remove it and fix it. Let's start. Well, you will see, first of all, let's see what happens. After entering Windows Update, remember, we do it from the start button and we write Update.

We give it to look for updates, this is to always have Windows in the latest version. This is the Windows update. When updating Windows Update on some devices, it is launching this problem. It says that everything is updated, but a red exclamation appears that warns us that something is not going at all well. If we read, it tells us that the device lacks important security updates. It says that we make sure to leave it on or connected so that those updates can be completed.
0:55
So the first thing we have to do is this, we are going to search for updates and we are going to let it update everything. In my case this did not work, after several times of letting it update, restart and try again to update it, the problem was still there, just like now. Notice that right now I have a Windows Defender update, but this is the same, once it is installed and even restart the device, the same red exclamation will continue to come out and the same problem.
1:22
Therefore, we would have to look for another method that I am going to tell you below to solve this problem. Basically we have to repair the Windows update. For this we are going to do the following: Let's go to the page that I have taken from the official Windows forum. I remind you before you tell me anything that we are going to use a method that is tested by the official Microsoft community, under supervision of authorized experts and it is a totally safe method.
1:50
In this forum, we explain step by step how to repair the Windows update. For this, it gives us two options: either write all the instructions one by one or download a program that does that for us. This program is simply a script that works based on the commands that are already incorporated into Windows, so it is practically the same as writing them. And it works both in Windows 8, 8.1, Windows 10 and Windows 11.
2:18
We enter this page that I will leave in the description of the video and we will reach this page where we are going to download this program called Reset Windows Update Tool. To download it, we simply click on download. We have several options, we choose the recommended one, which is this one. Now we have to choose where we are going to download the file. For example, we put it on the desktop and here we have it. The file is called portable. A .rar file is downloaded.
2:48
We have to unzip it, drag all the content to the desktop and that would be enough. Perfect, I'm going to close it all and I'm going to sort this out a little bit and we're going to run this file: "wreset.s". The acronym simply means "Windows Update Reset". Remember that this program is not installed, it is simply executed, if we delete it we will lose it.
3:11
As I will say at the end of the video, I recommend that you have it. Come on, we have to open it, but for that we have to do it as follows. We are going to do it as an administrator. To do this, we right click on the same file and choose the option of "execute as administrator". It is important that we do this because if not, it will not work, it does not have permissions. We accept and enter the program.
3:34
First, we will open a window to choose the language, in my case Spanish. We put a 7 and we give it to the intro. Then it will open a window of system symbol with the terms and conditions. We accept it by writing an S and that's it. We always choose an option and we give it to enter.
3:53
Now a menu with many options will open. We have many important options related to the maintenance of our computer or to repair certain windows areas, such as the one that interests us, Windows Update.
4:07
Now it's a matter of executing each of the instructions, but not in any way. The sequence that served me was the following: We start with number 3, which erases the temporary Windows files. Then we press 3 and we give it to "intro" and wait. When it finishes, it will tell us "Operation completed successfully". Every time we execute a task, this will come out the same. The operation was successfully completed, we press a key and go back to the menu.
4:38
Now we are going to run the number 6 that runs the system file check tool. We press the number 6 and we give it to intro and wait. This operation took me about 3 minutes. Perfect, it was executed correctly, we press a key and go back to the menu. Then we are going to run the number 7 that scans the windows image in search of damage in the component warehouse. This operation lasted 1 minute.
5:08
Then we run the 8 that checks if the image has been marked as damaged. Perfect. And when it finishes we will run the number 9 that performs automatic repair operations. This is executed in 2 minutes.
5:26
Now the 10 that cleans the replaced components. This operation in particular, number 10, took me more than 20 minutes to execute, so be patient, the important thing is that you do not interrupt the process because if not you will have to start it from scratch and there may be problems with Windows. Do not interrupt it. Let's go with the 11 that erases the incorrect register values. This takes very little time, it is executed in a minute.
5:53
Now the 12 that repairs and restores the WinShock settings. This is executed in less than 10 seconds. And finally, option 2 that restores the Windows Update components.
6:07
The last operation can take you about two minutes. As you can see, it does not take great knowledge to repair Windows, it simply follows these steps. Once the process is finished, we are going to write the instruction 0 and close the program. And now a very typical mistake would be to go directly to Windows Update and search for updates. You will see that this problem seems to be not solved.
6:30
And you will say, "What is all this for?" You need the last step, which would be to restart your device. Let's restart it and you will get it.
6:41
And ready, once restarted, we return to Windows Update and everything will appear in green, everything is OK, updated and we can continue updating Windows in a totally normal way. Keep in mind that the time it takes us to carry out this whole process can vary depending on how good, how powerful the performance of your equipment is.
7:02
And that's it, when you finish fixing your Windows Update, I recommend that you save this small program because it can come in handy at some point of trouble since it has very interesting tools such as Instruction 13 that restores the Microsoft store for Windows, or 12 that I recommend that you use it when you have problems on the internet, or instruction 11 that erases incorrect registration values, 14 that forces the update of directives,
7:31
Or even if you forgot the key of your Windows, you can use the number 16 and it will quickly remember it. Even if we do not solve our problems with Windows with instructions 17 and 18, it will look for other options, either locally or online. That's right, keep in mind that some of these processes can take a long time to execute. Even the instruction 5 that executes the command chkdsk can take up to
8:01
a whole day in the CS. Everything will depend on the state of the disk to repair. That yes, I remind you that you never interrupt the processes once initiated. I think everything is quite clear. So far today's video. If you have any questions, the best thing is that you put it in comments, wait for my answer and I will solve it as soon as possible. See you in the next video and as always, be happy.
