    Windows 10 takes up to an hour to reboot since forced update


    Windows 10 forced a software update on my work PC last week, and ever since it takes between 10 minutes and an entire hour to reboot. What can I do to fix it? We don't have an IT department so I have to figure this out by myself.Thanks.

    :)

    ^This, then reboot and go to manually update windows. Find KB3035583 in the list of available updates, right-click and "Hide this update" so it doesn't get installed again next go around.

    Plus they need to learn to set the Active Hours. Windows 10 gives you a 12 hour window that you can set where it will not install updates or force reboot the computer. Yeah, if you use the computer for more than 12 hours you still get stuck with a reboot in the middle of your work, but most business won't be affected by that since most computers are only in use for an 8 hour shift, maybe 10 hours.

    It isn't really the reboot, but the 30+ minutes of waiting for the updates to install during the reboot. And even with SSDs, that time can be that long.
