Battlenet will not update

I am not able to update battlenet - system has been optimized to latest version of Windows, unable to play HOS because it also needs to be updated but until battlenet updates, that won’t happen. It just keeps saying “updating…” and stays on that. Help!!

have you attempted to uninstall and reinstall battle.net?

Hello QueenYazmean :wave:

Sorry to hear you’re having issues updating the Battle.net app… to add onto what Planar suggested, here are some further troubleshooting tracks we can follow.

First, let’s clear out the Battle.net app’s cache folder. The update may be getting stuck on damaged or incomplete files in the cache.

Deleting Battle.net Files

If the installation gets stuck again, let’s check if any of your security programs are reacting to the updating process. It may be necessary to update your virus definitions, or in extreme cases to temporarily disable such programs.

Troubleshooting Security Applications

There may also be a Windows setting interfering. Secondary logon service allows apps to request admin-level permissions on a case-by-case basis, for functions such as creating or editing files (important during patching!)

(you may be prompted to reboot)

Best of luck in your adventures :slight_smile:
