Stalled download

I have one PC at work that the update download has stalled at 13% and has not
changed for over a week. I am able to manually through admin download to
load the updates but the little yellow shield still show up in the tray with
downloading 13%. Does anybody know how to clear it?

I had the same problem.. I turned the computer off and on again and it was
gone.

It's possible that you accidentally suspended a download.
Right-click may show you the status.

Otherwise try opening a command window
and use the bitsadmin command to find out.

bitsadmin /wrap /list /allusers

Note bitsadmin may only appear when you install the Support Tools.
However, there is an update to it available so perhaps you can get it
that way too.

Once you find out its name you can if you prefer
also use the bitsadmin command to cancel
a suspended download. Etc.

BTW I can only find offline help in the command line
E.g. bitsadmin /wrap /? but online Win-F1 help for
it should be available too. Etc.
