[dba-Tech] Windows Update not Completing

Hi Bryan

I had something similar some while back - sorry, can't remember the exact details. I lost patience long before that and
simply rebooted. Win recovered tidily and completed the updates when I allowed it to.

Hope you have a similar experience!

John

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,
