In simple words, the 'iTunes Is Waiting for Windows Update …' translates to an outdated device driver for your iPhone. And that’s what happened just a few days back when the 'iTunes is waiting for Windows Update to install the driver for this iPhone' showed up.īut unlike some of the other ridiculous-looking errors that iTunes throws out all the time, this one made sense. As always, however, make sure to back up your data before proceeding with the Windows 10 install.When I connect my iPhone to a PC, the last thing I want to see is a lengthy error message. Head back to the Windows Update window, select "Check for updates" on the left, and you should notice a status message that says "Checking for updates." When you notice this message, go back to the command prompt where you typed the command without hitting Enter, and hit Enter now.Īt this point, Windows Update should say that it's downloading the latest Windows 10. This command will make Windows Update check for updates. Hit the Windows key again to bring up the command prompt and type "cmd." Instead of hitting Enter, however, right click and select "Run as Administrator." Next up, type "wuauclt.exe /updatenow" and again refrain from hitting enter. If you have installed Windows on a drive other than "C," replace "C" with the proper drive letter (for instance access "D:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" if your Windows is installed on "D").įrom there on, tap the Windows key, type Windows Update, and click it to open it. If you're not willing to wait anymore for Windows 10 to become ready for your PC, here are a few steps you can take if you want to force the download.įirst of all, go to "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" and delete all files in that location so that Windows Update can start clean. A Windows 10 thread (subreddit) on popular website Reddit explains how some users managed to force Windows 7 or Windows 8 to download the new Windows 10 even if the install app still says it will "notify you when ready." While some may be fine with waiting, however, others are determined to get Windows 10 now.
