Windows 10: Windows 10 update freezes at 48%

A popup says that support for the currently installed version of Windows 10 on my laptop will loose support in November and that I need to reboot my machine to upgrade to a new version. I have tried to do this several times and each time it freezes at 48%. I am finding that I am not even close to the only one having this issue.


I am computer literate and could do what ever suggestions are out there, but this is not my problem, this is Microsoft's. They need to make sure their software works before they thrust it on the general public. This is totally unacceptable.


How do I stop this popup from coming up until Microsoft actually makes their software work?

Windows Vista Wont Install Freezes?

had the same problem, freezes and long installation including each step loading, in my case a bios update helped.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
