My computer is stuck on the screen "Updating your system (10%)". Is there a way to fix it?
Looks like you already have a few good recommendations, I'll add one more. Use the power button on your system to 'force fail' the boot loader. Wait until BIOS startup is complete and as soon as the Windows logo appears press and hold the power button until the system shuts down. As soon as it powers down do it all over again twice more. Modern Windows with UEFI will usually automatically give you the Safe Mode or Recovery Console (depending on version) on the fourth failed boot cycle. I have to say your problem is a bit unique so I would add that, at least once, leave the machine alone for a few hours, or even overnight. It is rare but I have seen an occasional update on a particular system seem to 'hang' for as much as three hours then suddenly rocket through. I suspect it may be due to errors on the permanent storage device resident in the system area because this problem is usually accompanied by a steady but slow series of drive access activity. As you may be aware, disk repairs at that level can be brutally slow but failure to repair can result in a trashed system and lost data.
Windows 8 Update Error - Stuck in "We couldn t complete the features"?
While installing a windows update on my brand new laptop, I attempted a hard reset as it was taking an exceedingly long time to install "1" update. Upon booting again I got a message saying "We couldn t complete the features ." After waiting for an hour and a half, I realized something was wrong and looked up a solution. The said solution involved booting into safe mode, which when I attempted resulted in the same error message appearing and I m at the end of my rope because my less than a week old $1300 laptop is now a brick.
Why can’t I get my new HP desktop to complete updates?
I just got a brand new HP all-in-one desktop. I think it’s the 24-r124 model. Every night and periodically thoughout the day, it decides to automatically update. It does this for about a minute before saying “we couldn’t complete updates. undoing changes.” I haven’t made any changes to the computer other than setting it up to my accounts. How can i fix this?
Why does it take so long to update Windows? It can take more than a dozen trips to Windows Update and another dozen or more restarts before my newly installed Windows is up to date. Why can't Microsoft find a better way to do this?
So that nothing breaks!Updates are scary for developers. You push that deploy button and you hope and pray nothing goes wrong. And it's even scarier for Microsoft. When you're the operating system powering close to 90% of all global enterprise, billions of dollars are lost when you screw up.Windows updates are performing tons of safety checks before installing, while installing, and after installing. If things fail, they try again or in a different way. If that fails too, now they have to seemlessly undo whatever they just tried to do. Windows updates are designed to be safe, and that safety comes at the cost of speed.On the other end are some Linux distributions, which can install updates in under 10 seconds. But things break all the time. Example: one day everything is fine and the next your desktop stops working because an update to the open source graphics driver you're using doesn't work with your hardware. And now you have to spend a day figuring out what went wrong and undoing the update manually. The reason Linux is isn't always breaking is because updates aren't forced, you choose when to take the gamble of updating.MacOS doesn't take as long because updates only run on the tiny number of devices Apple makes and still supports (i.e. one new MacBook a year). So the number of safety checks it has to run are a lot smaller than Windows does because there are literally thousands of PCs being made every year and supported for much longer.If you're wondering why updates are forced, it's for your security. It's the same reason Google separated Android security patches from regular system updates: so they can push them out faster and make them mandatory. Outdated software is vulnerable, and that vulnerability costs Google, Microsoft, Apple, the economy, society, etc. money. It's in everyone's best interest to stay updated.Is it fair that some company is forcing these decisions on you instead of letting you decide what to do with your own property? I won't say, but we're forced to wear seatbelts while driving too.
What happens if I turn off my computer during Windows updates?
It's very unpredictable as it depends on what part of the OS the update was working on when you turned the power off. It could render the system unbootable, get stuck in an infinite boot-reboot loop and whatnot.If you are reading this before shutting down your system then there is a neat trick that could solve your problem. Usually if the updater is trying to update USB or DVD drivers, it will be stopped by any device plugged into those ports. It usually stops at 92-99% if this happens. In that case simply remove all peripherals that are not necessary like USB mice, keyboards, pendrives etc and you will notice that the update proceeds in a few minutes.If you are here after the unfortunate incident then not to worry. As of now windows doesn't even know that something is wrong. It tries and tries really hard to find the correct files to boot up but they simply don't exist. So we need to make it realize something has gone wrong and display the recovery options.Boot windows normally and wait for it to get stuck.Then long press your power button to do a hard reset.Repeat this around three to four times and windows will now take you to the troubleshooting window!Select from the options to either refresh your windows, which will leave all personal data untouched, uninstall all non default apps and clear registry, or restore windows from a previous restore point.The latter is your best choice and usually before any major update, windows makes a system restore point. If not then it's your bad luck and the restore point may be well in the past. But it's nothing to fret over because all your personal files will still be there. It's just the windows settings and features that will be old.Good luck! It's windows… you’ll need it :p
How do i get internet on my psp. please give complete instructions?
If you are at a Wi-fi hotspot go to network settings, scan to find and then save the info you need to connect then go to network update and follow the directions, it will install the most recent system update(you need at least version 2.50 for the internet) after that its easy. the only thing is that you have to be at one of the hotspots for it to go online. oh, and if you dont have Wi-fi at home then go to Panera Bread or Krystals, they both have Wi-fi.
How long does a Windows 10 update take?
This is something I wrote nearly a year ago.After 20 years my trust in Microsoft is at an all time low with Windows Update in Windows 10 Pro being my number one headache. Logic and common sense seems have left the building with repeated updates taking nearly an hour before the machine is usable again, with no hint of a warning anywhere. To make matters worse our machines are high end graphics workstations, with specifications most corporate users can only dream of, yet it seems that the machine is performing updates using only a fraction of it's potential. Most infuriating are the pleasant but completely useless messages that appear, that give no clue whether the process is nearly finished or barely started, other than the warning not to power off your computer.For years now I cannot update my Apple iPhone without being connected to a power supply or have at least 50% battery remaining. This basic check is still missing from my Windows 10 laptop. Recently I had the crazy idea of doing a little bit of work on the London Underground one morning on the way to work using my laptop. With 20 minutes of the journey left I unfortunately clicked Shut down and update. A warning to say ‘Are you sure, as there is only 30% battery?’ would have brought me to my senses. But alas no, instead I arrived at my stop with the Windows Update still in progress. Not wanting to risk closing the lid, because it was bound to finish any minute now, I walked to the office holding my laptop. There is no battery status on the update screen so getting to a power supply was extremely important. It took another half in the office before my laptop sprung back to life and I promised myself never to go through that again.So if Microsoft has 26 billion dollars to spend on LinkedIn, you’d think they could spend a little some basic improvements to Windows Update. With Adobe Flash security updates now part of Windows update, the option to wait until the evening to fix a potential exploit is often not an option. Warnings on whether the update could potentially take 10 minutes or an hour would be helpful, together with even a vague indication of the progress, allowing people to go and do something more productive with their time. Also a check whether you actually have enough battery life on your laptop wouldn’t be amiss. So it too much to ask to Microsoft to actually get things to work before adding more features to Cortana or whatever the next pointless feature is going to be in 2017?
How long does it take for Windows 10 to update on a new laptop?
For as long as it takes.Why did i provide such a generic, non specific, non useful answer…..because it matches the question.Windows updates can be a few MB of patch files that dont put any cpu/memory stress on the system, or they can be hundreds of megabytes and requiring a good amount of cpu/ram to execute, or they could be over a GB in size due to it being an OS version update.Since windows updates have to download from the internet, your connection speed plays a good part in how long it takes to get the update to your computer.Lastely “new laptop” is completely non descriptive because I can get a new low end budget grade laptop that is slower than 5 year old laptops. If you have a new 8th gen i7 laptop with 8+ GB of memory and an SSD then updates should not take too long, often times it wont even use enough system resources for you to feel it. If you bought that $250 special laptop with 2–4 gb of ram, a magnetic hard drive and an ultra-low-power budget cpu then expect a much larger delay and don't expect to do much while the updates are running.So in short the entire processes could take anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours completely depending on variables you did not specify.
