  1. Window update stuck at 99%


    I’’m already running Windows 10 and was just trying to do the latest update and it’s stuck at 99%. I left it overnight but no change so I’ve tried to restart, same thing happened. I’ve tried trying the internet off, made no difference. I’ve tried pressing F8 when restarting but it just goes straight to trying to install the update. I’ve read some previous solutions which suggest going through the start menu but it doesn’tgive me that option as it goes from the acer screen to a blank screen then to the running the update. Any help would be great fully appreciated. Many thanks

    :)

    Windows update stuck at 99%


    Hi
    I just did a system reset (and formatted the disk that had windows on it), after starting everything was okay until i ran windows update - it showed that there are a few updates, it downloads all of them except the last one - "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. driver update for AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series." - it has been stuck at "Downloading updates 99%" for at least 2 hours now, and restarting the computer doesn't help. It's worthy to note that my AMD driver is already installed and up to date!

    I am now running an sfc scan and i will update this post as soon as it is done.
    Until then - do you have any other suggestions?
    update: it found corrupt files and fixed them but still gets stuck at 99%.
