Windows 10: Windows Restart

On selecting 'Power Restart' my computer shuts down all applications and displays the rotating circle of dots with 'Restarting' beneath it but that is as far as it goes. I have let it go for 5+ minutes before pressing the power button which I may have to do in excess of 15 seconds to power the system down. It will restart fine and if I select 'Power Shut-down' as opposed to 'Power Restart' it shuts down within 5 seconds. This is a recurring issue. Can anybody advise on a fix for this?

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
