Type "net stop wuauserv" and hit Enter, then follow that with "net stop bits" and hit Enter again. You're not going to break anything by doing this — these are just temporary files Windows creates so it knows where it's up to, and Windows Update will create them again from scratch. With that done, go back to your command prompt window and type "net start wuauserv" Enter then "net start bits" Enter to get Windows Update and its related background services up and running again; hopefully this trick should be enough to kick-start the update that was previously stuck.
One of the more obscure reasons why a Windows update might not be installing is because a virus or some kind of spyware is blocking it: malicious apps like these can often be squashed by Windows security updates, which is why they try and stop the latest patches from being installed on your machine.
Try running a full and thorough virus scan using whatever security software you have installed you do have some installed, right? If you think your antivirus software has also been compromised you can download some on-demand scanners, like this one from Microsoft or this one from Dr. Restoring key Windows files and OS options is a lot easier than it used to be, and 'resetting' Windows 10 basically means putting all the system files back to their factory state without touching your personal files along the way although you can choose to wipe your drive completely if you want.
