    What the heck just happened with windows update?


    Installing today's monthly update KB5053598The installation got stuck for a while on 93% and i accidentally paused updates and restarted them, installation jumped to 100% and when I restarted to update, it got stuck on 0% at the "keep your computer on" screen, so after 20 mins I forced a shut down and it began to finally update properly, windows update shows it went successfully.sfc /scannow found no violations either.This is a new windows 11 laptop

    :)

    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 What the heck just happened with windows update? :) Best regards.


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

    Windows Update suddenly hangs?

    Windows Update is suddenly hanging for some reason... I went and downloaded and installed the first bunch of updates, restarted when asked, and now when I go back to windows update I just get the window with a white box forever. Reboot and it still does it. This happens to be on my main machine, running windows 7.

    I've also noticed when I reboot it says configuring windows update, step 3 of 3, 47%. Maybe it somehow skipped something and is screwed forever?

    • Press Windows + X, select control panel.

    • Click on view installed updates.
