    Windows 10 updates not installing in off hours


    On a Windows 10 home laptop I have the windows updates set to install during 'off hours' which I set to be during the night hours.

    Well, during the night the laptop lid is shut down. I could be wrong, but I get the impression that the downloaded updates do not install at night because on checking for updates during the day I frequently find that the updates were downloaded but seemingly waiting for me to 'restart the laptop' to install. So I restart the laptop and the updates are installed.

    So, my question is, do the windows 10 updates actually install when the laptop lid is down and windows is (not shut down) but asleep (whatever the correct word is)? If not what is the point of setting 'off hours'?

    Thanks.

    :)

  2. New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

    It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

    Heres a couple examples:

    Here

    It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

    I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
