  2. windows update stuck at installation screen and cannot get to desktop

    Hi Sue,

    To understand the issue better, I would like to ask some questions:

    • Is the computer stuck in the Installing updates screen?
    • For how long is the computer stuck in the screen?
    • When was the computer last updated?
    • Is the screen showing any percentage of installation?

    Sometimes the installation might take a long time to install if the update is of large size. So, I suggest you to wait for sometime and check if the system boots to the desktop. If it is taking a longer time, then perform a Power Drain by following the steps
    provided below:

    • Shut down the Computer.
    • Remove all power source (including battery if it is a laptop).
    • Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds.
    • Connect the power source and start the computer.
    • After the computer boots to the desktop, suggest you to install all the pending updates.

    Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

    Thank you.

    Shift button shutting down computer

    You're welcome. I guess.. try that same method: 1) Unplug your Keyboard Wire from the Tower 2) Press, and hold down, that Shift button 3) While holding down the Shift button, with your other hand, plug the Wire back into the Tower, and let go of Shift afterwards. 4) Press Shift Hopefully it got fixed? If not, my suggestion is: 1) Search for, and open, Device Manager 2) In the Keyboards section, right click and uninstall every entry there. In my example, there's 2. (If asked to delete all driver files, say yes)

    3) Unplug your Keyboard from the Tower 4) Plug it back in. Wait a few moments for Windows to reinstall the drivers... 5) Open an internet window and try typing stuff to see if the keyboard is all set up. 6) When typing letters works, Press Shift
