Windows 10: My lenovo Y50 gaming laptop has been updating for Days!!! and then it re-sets!!!!!

So I just recently got this laptop that's been factory refurbished and I went to update it in the setting bar the operating system begun as windows 10 and I upgrading to a newer version. I still have use of my laptop, but I can't install anything from the Microsoft store, because it needs the new update and I am assuming that the current windows 10 is from around late 2015-2016 when the computer model first came out. Thus I was expecting a long update time, but it's been DAYS !! The update uploaded, downloaded, prepared to install, gave me the finish installing button and then something went wrong and the update had to go through all of the stages again, and now it's at the downloading faze again. I just want to know wyit's taking so long and if there's something I can do to either make it go faster or if it's just because the model is a few years old

Hi Redsoxaholic,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that you've been facing issues with the BSOD. We will look into this for you.

Appreciate your efforts to work on this issue and adding the dump files link. Based on our analysis of the Dump files, it appears that the issue is with the drivers for the Power Management and the Display.

The problem can be caused by power setting issues. So change the power settings to see if this resolves the problem.
