    Windows update Active hours are not working correct


    I changed the active hours from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM. double-checked.

    not a message popped up like below


    'Countdown to goodness
    We're all set for the windows update scheduled at 5:36 PM. If you're not ready, we'll check back again in an hour'

    and I'm getting this message every time.

    I did my updates, did fix the bugs with troubleshooting but still, it doesn't work!

    Maybe there can be a problem that my laptop is out of battery and I'm just working it with the supply plugged in.the battery isn't getting charged. always 0% so I just use it this way.
    would there be any solution to solve this problem?

    Window is keeping on shutting down my computer while I am running a very important, heavy program for my work.

    :)

      add
      button (+).
    • Select Suggestionand fill up the box with the details needed.
