During the Windows Update procedure via proxy server<\/strong>, in Windows Server 2016<\/a> the download process stuck at 0%.<\/p>\n

Although is a pretty old Windows version, a lot of organizations still have version 2016 in production and you may face a similar issue. This behavior may occur in some versions only of Windows Server 2016 and when you access the Windows Update<\/strong> page the download progress stuck at 0%.<\/p>\n

Regardless if you have properly configured the Internet Explorer proxy settings<\/strong> for Internet access, in Windows Server 2016<\/a> the proxy works differently<\/strong> compared to previous versions. System proxy must be forced for <\/strong>WinHTTP<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"windows-server-2016-updates-stuck-03\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Check current configuration<\/h2>\n

To check current proxy server settings for WinHTTP, run the following command:<\/p>\n

C:\\> netsh winhttp show proxy<\/span><\/p>\n

\"windows-server-2016-updates-stuck-04\"<\/p>\n

In this example, the proxy settings for WinHTTP are not set in the System level<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fix Windows Update issue<\/h2>\n

To configure the proxy settings for WinHTTP, run the command:<\/p>\n

C:\\> netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server=\"10.210.253.194:8080\" bypass-list=\"*.woshub.com\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\"windows-server-2016-updates-stuck-05\"<\/p>\n

Restart the Windows Update service<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

PS C:\\> Restart-Service wuauserv<\/span><\/p>\n

\"windows-server-2016-updates-stuck-06\"<\/p>\n

Check the current proxy server settings for WinHTTP once again.<\/p>\n

C:\\> netsh winhttp show proxy<\/span><\/p>\n

\"windows-server-2016-updates-stuck-07\"<\/p>\n

When the proxy for WinHTTP has been set, the download process resumes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"windows-server-2016-updates-stuck-08\"<\/p>\n

This behavior has been fixed in Windows Update agent 10.0.14393.187<\/strong> and higher.<\/p>\n
