Win10 Updates stuck?

[nlinecomputers]

After hundreds and hundreds of updates, never once had an "update" that has caused any issue, I haven't had to manually reboot my Linux system for over two years!
It has, however, been restarted due to power cuts. Its a laptop, so on battery but only lasts an hour or so. My UPS only lasts 30 min. We've had the power off for over 7 hrs here after storms!

So how do you handle Kernel updates because even in Linux they require a reboot.

No way round a kernel Update, unfortunately. It initially slipped my mind when I posted the comment! (Too eager to have a dig at MS!)
Thought about it after and you're right. Kernel updates are fairly infrequent, though.
I was thinking more about general updates.

Mine was stuck at 67% I rebooted and it stuck at 23%. Then I tried this and it worked right away.

Same here. Stuck at 45% (let it run overnight). Had to download and install manually

I had to deal with 1 of these today - manually downloaded the update and sat in workshop all day yesterday installing at 77%, came in this morning and it was at 91%....powered the laptop on/off a couple of times and the update has installed. Rebooted a few times, and ran the updates and everything is working fine...thanks for the tip on this 1

I've seen a couple like this where you think the system isn't finished but it actually did finish up. So you reboot the thing expected to get a hosed half updated system and it seems to be just fine.

I have seen this a lot when installing Office 365 - it sits at about 90% - if you reboot the machine it has actually fully installed

This is getting tedious. Have two machines on the bench, both v1511 and both have Update issues.

All I get is "We can't install some updates because other updates are in progress. Restarting your computer may help, and we'll keep trying to update". Multiple restarts later, still the same.

I've tried installing using the Standalone installer for 1511 and then 1607, and I get "The update is not applicable to your computer" each time.

Reset Windows Updates and try it all again, still the same. Right now I'm thinking what a POS Win 10 Updates are.

You've just worked that out?

I'm completely confused as to how and why other countries use and allow microsoft to run on their computers in security sensitive government applications. Reboot, lockup, crash at a moments notice and too bad for the user and the work they are trying to do! Some NUKE subs were just exposed for having been running winxp still with a code name windows for warships.... It's almost impossible to believe. I can't even believe other country's' governments are running microsoft anything, it's almost the same as setting up a video camera and microphone on their desk, and sending a live stream to who knows where.

What bugs me the most is how updates suck up every last bit of bandwidth. I see it all the time where I can barely even load a webpage because MS is downloading an update in the background. Yes, the BACKGROUND has priority over what I'm trying to do.

Causes major issues every time a build is released. I have clients who basically can't use the internet for 3-4 hours while this 4GB update is downloading.

I don't see this at all and Win10 update downloads are glacially slow on any connection around here. You'd never even know they were slowly downloading if you were browsing the net.

Let me understand. Your example f how terrible Microsoft is is a government agency running a severely out of date OS?

Probably not a good idea...

It is doubtful they have internet access and they are still fully supported by Microsoft. If you pay enough Microsoft will still support standard Xp let alone a custom build of it.
