    I don't think a restart for upgrading to Windows 11 take 10 HOURS. Do I turn off my PC to stop it, or keep going? I even left it overnight and it just stayed on the restarting screen

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond I've been updating to Windows 11 and it's stuck restarting :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

    Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

    When in win10:
    • Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....
    Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
    - Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

    2019-04 Cumulative Update KB4495667 stuck in restart to finish

    My Pc runs Windows 10 Home 64 Bit v 1809

    I noticed that Windows Update has had indigestion with the latest Cumulative Update (2019-04 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 v 1809 for x 64 bases systems KB4495667) which is stuck Requiring a restart to finish installing.

    I have restarted several times with no luck.

    Have also run the Trouble Shooter which could not identify the problem.

    I then checked for updates in case it would offer it again, but all that was listed was 2019-02 Cumulative Update for NET Framework 3.5 and 4.7.2 KB4486553 which has Successfully installed.

    KB4495667 still refusing to do so.


    I've been updating to Windows 11 and it's stuck restarting 1556967822t-2019-04-cumulative-update-kb4495667-stuck-restart-finish-windows-update-re-kb4495667.jpg


    I have downloaded it from from the Windows Update Catalogue ... file windows10.0-kb4495667-x64_a0713c961b994da102ee4a300d2f571ec567af20.msu

    What is the safest thing to do now, do I just double click to install it?

    I am no computer expert so will need easy to follow steps.
