Do not turn off your computer while the update is installing

This operating system really has a lot of functions and capabilities. But let's talk about automatic Windows updates. This function is included in the system by default. When updates become available, you will be given the option to update everything immediately or later. If you chose later, then very often after reboot the computer the system starts updating automatically. When the operating system starts updating automatically, you will see the following text on the screen: "Do not turn off the computer while the update is installing". In principle, there is nothing wrong with this. Usually the update takes place quite quickly. And after installing all the necessary updates, the computer turns on.

But there are situations when the system takes a long time to update. This is due to the fact that the user has disabled automatic system updates and has not updated the system for a long time. In this case, the number of updates may exceed 100 components.

Naturally, such a number of updated components will not take 5 minutes. Many users complain in such cases that the system takes a very long time to update, but a large number of updated system components will take you at least an hour.

There are situations when the system started updating and simply froze. There is still the same inscription on the screen: Do not turn off the computer for now, the update is being installed,” but absolutely nothing happens. Such situations do not happen very often. But if this happens, you can do the following.

First you need to try a complete shutdown. To do this, you need to hold down the power key and wait until the computer turns off completely. Then turn on the computer again. Very often this helps.

If you have a laptop, then unplug it. After this, the recovery environment should appear. Here you can restore the system to a specific point or perform a system restore without deleting data. In most cases, the text on your computer screen “Do not turn off your computer while the update is installing” does not bode well. You just need to wait until the operating system is updated, and then continue to use the computer.
