Windows 10: Windows 10 System Image Back up takes inordinately long time without completing after 97%...

Windows 10 Backup & Recovery. While taking System Image Backup, after 97% Completion as System Image Creation starts, systems Keeps creating Image for a very long time. Last time I aborted backup after 12 Hours. How much time is this supposed to take? Should I assume that activity has gone into loop & stuck up. What can be the possible reason? How much time it is supposed to take reasonably?

:)

 

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.

Once Check Disk completes, boot the computer and then check.

System Image Backup Stalling at 97%

I have Windows 10 and want to do a clean install so I can hopefully fix issues with connecting to my printer. Before I do this, I want to create a system image backup, just in case. However, it keep freezing at 97%. I have tried over six different times
and each time it stops at 97% (even when I leave it on overnight). I tried everything from this forum:

System Image Backup

without any luck. I am using a recently purchased 3 TB Toshiba external hard drive. I am able to save File History on it without trouble, but not create a system image. Please help me! I will provide some screen shots which may help...
