Solution 1 - Check the Internet Connection

Select Settings.
Select All Settings.
Select Network.
Select Network Settings.
Find the right side of the Network Settings screen, choose Test network connection. The test will perform automatically and inform you know if there’s a problem with your connection.
Also, check the Xbox Live server status. You can check the server status at any time on Xbox's official website.

Solution 2 - Delete and Redownload Your Profile

Select Delete
Delete selected profiles only (this deletes the profile but leaves saved games and achievements).

Solution 3 - Clear the System Cache

Solution 4 - Power Cycle Your Console

Open the guide by going left on the Home screen.
Select Settings and go to All Settings.
Choose System > Console info & updates.
Select Reset console.
You must find these two options: Reset and keep my games & apps and Reset and remove everything. We recommend that you use the first option since this option will only reset your console and delete potentially corrupted data without deleting games and other large files.
If that option doesn’t work and the problem still persists, be sure to use Reset and remove everything option. This option will remove all the downloaded games, saved games, accounts, and applications, thus if you want to save some of your files, we recommend that you back them up before using this option.

Solution 5- Reset Your XBOX One

Operating a soft reset is an easy fix that can help your Xbox One complete the update process if you have an error code, error message, or the loading screen is stuck. Resetting is different from restarting, but it's less severe than a full factory reset.

Solution 6- Try an Offline Update

If an Xbox one won’t update because of errors like network problems and corrupted data, an offline update. In case neither restarting nor resetting help, or if you have network issues, this tactic will probably fix your problem. To do a manual update:

Download this file from Microsoft to your computer.
Extract the compressed bundle and copy the $SystemUpdate file to a flash drive with the NTFS format.
Switch off your Xbox One, and disconnect it from power.
Plug the flash drive into your Xbox One.
After waiting a minimum of 30 seconds, Click the bind button and the eject button on your Xbox One.

Solution 7 - Free up Space on Your Hard Drive

Xbox One won’t update error also a reason behind this, it doesn't have enough space to download and complete the update. When you see an error message that states your Xbox One is almost full, freeing up hard drive space by uninstalling games and apps usually fixes the problem.

Factory reset your Xbox One: You shouldn't try this fix until you've exhausted all of your other options. Run a factory reset permanently deletes all of your locally stored files and game saves.

Microsoft Support: In case all of these fixes fail, and you still can't update your console, then you may have a physical hardware failure. Then, you will need to contact Microsoft.
