Next, delete the SoftwareDistribution folder in C:> Windows drive . Remember to do this you need administrative rights. Once deleted, you need to create a path between the old and new folders. Open the Command Prompt and type the following command (the new folder section will automatically type according to your wishes).
mklink / J SoftwareDistribution D: NewUpdateFolder
Then restart the wuauserv and BITS services on Task Manager, then the new update will automatically be downloaded to the new folder.
If the above steps are too complicated, you can create a BAT file. Open a new text folder, paste the following lines and save, and convert the extension from TXT to BAT. Then run it with administrator privileges.
net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
if exist C: WindowsSoftwareDistribution rmdir / S / QC: WindowsSoftwareDistribution
rmdir / S / QD: SoftwareDistribution
if not exist D: SoftwareDistribution mkdir D: NewUpdateFolder
CD / DC: Windows
mklink / J SoftwareDistribution D: NewUpdateFolder
net start wuauserv
net start bits
Do not forget to back up the data before doing the steps above to return to the original configuration if in the process where there are errors. If you have any problems, please check whether you have administrative rights, turn off Windows Update services, and provide the new address name correctly.
