Hi,
yesterday I shuted down my notebook and windows 7 Ultimate started to install the automatic update. After one hour I noticed that the update is still running. I thought ok, I go to sleep and let it run. In the morning it was still running.
Thus I thought it is crashed. Forced a shut-down of the notebook, and restarted it. With the same effect that the notebook is "freezing" at "Install Update 1 of 5".
It does not look like whether it is chrased. The progress wheel is still moving. But it does not make any progres.. Thus somehow like crashed.
Would appreciate any help!
Edit: Ok was able to log-in in "save" (german: abgesicherter) mode. This way I passed to install update screen. I do not want to generally disable updates. What can I do to not install the last update, which is creating troube. Or how can I find out whats the problem with the last update?
Edit2: Ok starting in save mode and finally installing the updates manually solved the problem.
