  1. Installation seems to have stalled.


    In 'Windows Update', the download has completed. It says it is preparing for installation but the process doesn't seem to be progressing at all. It's stuck at about 1/3rd. My net isn't that fast but long should the process take if the download is already complete?

    Should I click on stop download and start again? Or try disconnecting and reconnecting to the router?

    :)

  3. Windows 10 update seems to be stalled

    • Check to ensure there is disk activity (look at the hard disk LED light to confirm. If there is, keep waiting. If setup go beyond 2 to 3 hours, try the following steps.
    • Power down the computer. Unplug it, then wait 20 mins to 1 hour.
    • Disconnect it from the Internet (unplug Ethernet or turn off Wi-Fi).
    • Plug it again, ensure it remains disconnected from the Internet then start computer.
    • See if it completes setup.
    • If setup completes and you see the desktop with the ability to click Start and launch programs, proceed to reconnect to the Internet.

  4. Installation seems to have stalled.

    Disconnecting and reconnecting from my router helped jog it a bit or maybe clicking on the upgrade now button again helped but it's stuck again. Is this normal? *Huh

    Turns out the download ends at 12am according to my local timezone so I've changed my computer timezone instead and got an additional 10 hours to upgrade. *sarc

    Update: The upgrade was successful.
