    Windows 10 update stops at 98%. Hard powering off does not help.


    I have a laptop that started a windows update; it gets stuck at 98% and it does not move forward for hours. I have tried hard power, pressing the power button and it turns off. When restarted it goes directly into the update and gets stuck again at 98%. It is a vicious circle that I do not have how to stop. I tried to get in touch with a person in Microsoft and it is impossible... so frustrating!!We need help!

    :)

    Windows 98 and ME no longer updatable...

    Quite right, XP is still listed in technet. Win 98 unfortunately isn't. Windows 3.1 and 3.2 are listed though.

    Windows 98 problem

    why not try to use virtual PC and emulate windows 98 on a XP machine or did someone already suggest that?

    Here's the address to the list:

    http://support.microsoft.com/gp/LifeSelectIndex

    And @ Service Packs: They are updates to the OS, so support on them is not really applicable. Support for Starter, Home Premium and Ultimate ends in 2012-04-10. Quite soon actually.
