iphone 8s won't update in itunes

iPhone 8s won't update in iTunes. I've rebooted both with no luck. My iPad updated fine. Usually I simply open iTunes, and it tells me there is an update. I have the latest iTunes also. Once I connect my apple cord to PC, my phone comes up, then I click on the phone, and click update. It starts to extract , then backup, it almost starts, then no

When I YouTube search, there are a few downloads that say it will fix, but I am very careful not to do that. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Windows, Windows 6

Sorry about that, even if error 4000 was always solved using the workaround I suggested.

I don't know any other solutions, except inviting you to contact Apple Support directly using this link:--> Get Support

Regards and best of luck.

Try this workaround, keeping in mind that keychain (if you're using it) can be affected:

Disconnect your device from the computer
Temporarily disable the passcode on your iPhone
Restart the iPhone
Restart iTunes
Reconnect the iPhone to your computer and restart the update procedure.

When finished, re-enable your passcode on your iPhone.
