iPhone X currently running ios 16.7.12 and has pending ios update 16.7.13.

When I click Install update, I receive message Verifying Update, which fails with message "Unable to Verify Update".

Whe I attempt to install the update from iTunes connected to windows PC, I receive message "iPhone could not be updated. Unknown Error (3194)

I have tried multiple times.

I have removed and re-installed iTunes, but still get the same result.

Hoe can I updae the ios o iPhone?
