  1. update stuck for hours now


    I leave my computer since it is updating. My computer is slow and I cant replace or repair it so when the update came I run and leave it to do some stuff. I came back after couple of hours and still on running. The only thing that I can see is installing updates dont turn off your PC. I need to work as well so I need to finish this updates

    Windows 10 Laptop stuck in update upto 3 hours then rollsback update

    @zbook,

    I am slightly confused by the results.
    As suggested by you, I performed clean boot in Windows 10
    In msconfig, chose Selective startup and unchecked "Load Startup items". Then under Services tab after hiding all Microsoft services, I disabled all services. Then in startup tab I disabled all startup tasks and restarted my Laptop. Once it booted I went to settings ->Windows update and clicked on "Check for updates" and then it gave a couple of updates like "2021-01 Windows update for Windows 10 v 1909" , "Update for removal of Adobe flash player.." and asked it to run the updates.
    So it ran the updates and restarted again. And I see in the update history as shown in below screen shot that those 2 updates are applied with todays timestamp 5/22/21

    However on the Windows update screen it still shows "You are NOT up to date. Your device is missing important security and quality fixes" as shown in below screenshot.
    If I click on "Check for Updates" nothing comes up now and it keeps saying "You are NOT uptodate your device is missing important security and quality fixes" I tried restarting a few more times and it says the same thing.

    Also if I click the Start->Power icon, there are only 2 Options as shown in below screenshot. "Update and shut down" and "Update and restart".

    So can you please advise what this signifies and how do I proceed from here and what are the next steps because I am confused if it already applied all the updates or it is not able to apply the updates .
    Appreciate your help.

    Thanks

    I am sorry, can you please clarify this which you have mentioned in your reply ?

    (1) What do you want me to do with this link
    setupdiag: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...rade/setupdiag

    (2) And what is V2: BSOD for. Is it connected to above setupdiag step ?

    (3) Is Upgrade_failure_info.bat the 3rd step you want me to run after above V2:BSOD step ?

    (4) PS2 Logs: Is this the 4th step to perform after upgrade_failure_info.bat step ?

    thanks

  3. Windows 10 updates stuck at 91% for 7 hours

    Microsoft was of no help to me at all (yet again). Pointing at others, in this case 3rd party antivirus software is a typical attempt to hide their own incompetence.

    Another few hours of productivity lost thanks to Microsoft!

    Hi Yoshi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows Builds.

    I understand your concern that Windows update is stuck at 83%. We will help you with this issue.
