   - Click on Update & Security.
   - Click on Troubleshoot.
   - Select the Windows Update troubleshooter.
   - Click the Run the troubleshooter button.
 

  - Click Apply this fix if applicable to resolve the issue.

In the case your device generates a 0x80245006 error, then it indicates that files required are missing or damaged.

If the troubleshooter couldn't resolve the problem, you can also try upgrading to version 1709 using the Media Creation Tool.
