If an existing update for Windows 10 has been downloaded, its installation usually starts automatically. If this is not the case for you, there can be several reasons for this. If the update does not start even after some time, go through the following steps:

1. First check whether your computer is connected to the Internet and whether you have a good signal strength.
2. If the problem is not due to the Internet connection, an error contained in the update can also be the cause. In this case, only helps to wait until Microsoft has fixed the error.
3. Often a restart of the PC is also useful to solve problems with the installation of an update.
4. If this also does not help, try to eliminate the problems of updates with on-board means. To do this, navigate to "Settings" > "Update & Security" > "Troubleshooting" > "Windows Update" and follow the further steps.
