Hello, I’ve been dealing with this problem for a a couple weeks now. I can’t find a way to fix it.
Problem: General Update stuck at 100% and won’t do anything
I have tried to redo the update muiltiple times and it always ends the same. Someone told me to delete a certain file for the update but that did not work either.
Now scroll down all the way and see if there are any blank files (They are incomplete)
If so, we eliminate them with the Simulator closed.
Once this is done, enter the simulator again.
If it doesn’t work, we’ll try more things.
You could try, a lot of times unless you fix the issue it won’t make much difference.
However like you said, at this point it may be worth the try.
If you do go that route, uninstall from the Windows Apps & Features menu, then remove all left over folders, except your community folder.
Move your community folder to another location where it will be safe for after you reinstall.
You can move it back in after you get the sim running.
