[dba-Tech] Windows Update not Completing

Hi Bryan

Seems like you have to press and hold the power button to shut it off.
Then boot and retry the update.

Emne: [dba-Tech] Windows Update not Completing

Hi Everyone,

I have a question about a situation I've never run across before.

I am trying to fix a neighbours laptop, Windows 7 I think, and it started updating windows last week, and it still hasn't finished installing the updates! It is stuck on the Installing X of Y Updates screen that you get when you reboot windows to install the updates.

Any ideas of what I can do or what will happen if I just power off the laptop to stop the update?

Thanks,
