Step 1: End the Stuck Installation

  1. Open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc or right-clicking the taskbar and selecting Task Manager.
  2. Locate the installer process (e.g., Office Setup or Windows Installer).
  3. Right-click the process and select End Task to close it.
  4. Restart your device.
  5. Delete the old installer file and re-download the installer before trying again.

 

Step 2: Run System Repair Commands

  1. Search for Command Prompt in the Windows search bar.
  2. Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator.
  3. Type the following command and press Enter:

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

  4. Once the operation is complete, type the next command and press Enter:

    sfc /scannow

  5. Wait for the scan to finish.
  6. Check for Windows updates, install any available updates, then restart your device and try installing the software again.
