  1. Windows Update Freezes.


    I cannot start my laptop. I had a windows update last night, let it run overnight. My laptop was still working in the morning, but it had a black screen. I held the power button to shut it down. When I rebooted it went straight into the update, but it froze. I let it sit for 2 hours, still nothing. I did this a bit more and got a black screen or frozen Windows update. How do I make my laptop work?

    :)

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

    Windows update freezes

    Hi,

    If your Windows 10 freezes while updating, it could be due to corrupted or incompatible drivers or system files, or third-party application conflicts. We suggest you to run the
    Windows Update troubleshooter, and check if it helps. Here are the steps:

    • Type Control Panel in the Search bar, and press
      Enter on the keyboard.
    • Go to Troubleshooting.
    • Click View All.
    • Right-click on Windows Update from the list.
    • Select Run as Administrator.
    • Click Next and follow the prompts to run the troubleshooter.

    If issue persists, we recommend you to follow the instructions provided by Andre Da Costa in this
    thread.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Windows Update Freezes.

    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 Windows Update Freezes. :) Best regards.


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