Windows 10: Stop run-amok-update

How do I interrupt a TEN-HOUR-LONG-AND-STILL-GOING-STRONG backup?! without losing backup data?


MS apparently failed to anticipate is, that people don't turn on History, because laptops only come with ONE DRIVE, write, copy, and migrate a bunch of data to the new machine. Before you know it, there is a ton of data to back-up.


With a BU drive (external USB) installed, I started the backup. It is taking forever. Ten hours so far, and it isn't even half done, judging from the FileHistory tree being built on the BU drive.

Vista Automatic Updating Error

Automatic Updates isn't currently running.

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.


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 Best regards.


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

A simple solution but one that works in most circumstances!
