Windows 10: Windows 8 [build 9200] stuck on failure configuring Windows Updates and reverting changes...

Hi,I have recently installed Windows 8 Pro x64 on a desktop and it worked fine for about 2 weeks. In this 2 weeks, I have resisted installing Windows updates as am not interested in installing them. But today, I thought of updating, and so installed all the updates and restarted the computer when it prompted. But now, the problem is that, after it booted, it installed for 15% and froze and after some time...it stuck on reverting changes for like 3 hours now. This is my main PC and I am in need for some quick helpI tried force reboot, but that didn't work either and stuck on same screen. Intere

Windows 8 failure configuring updates and reverting

This laptop comes with Windows 8, not 8.1. It has no issues with activation. When the issue "Failure configuring Windows updates Reverting changes Do not turn off your computer" comes up it's stuck there forever and the only way out is to reformat in my situation and I used the recovery partition for that. Maybe I am missing what you are getting at?

Have you followed their advice? Install one update at a time and reboot after each one. It's a long process, but if that's the solution, and you want a working laptop, I see no other option.

As for a windows 8.1 iso, it's easy. I literally did this 2 weeks ago to my PC.

EDIT: Also, if you go direct to HP, they actually tell you to go into the BIOS, disabled "Secure boot" run the updates and reboot, and then turn "Secure boot" back on. Have you done as HP suggested?
