Windows computer update

My computer has taken about 4 hours to update.

At around 2 and a half hours I turned it off and back on it is still going it has gone past the percentage part but it is on the part with the circle for the past 3 hours

Can somebody help

 

I cannot describe with non-insultive words how bad of a decision that was. Just.. no.

 

It's my dad computer. Me and my cousin told him not to but he instited


When he started it back up it said recovering

Hoho, don't unplug or turn off windows when it's updating! I did this with my old one some years ago... bad decision....

He unplugged it

tried to tell him


What happend when u unplugged it??

Will it update next time it is turned on

 

Idk it anymore, too long ago

 

Last time I was updating and it got stuck on that swirly thing for hours, my Windows was unbootable even into recovery mode.
I had to reinstall Windows.
I lost all of my files.

 

it says dont turn off for a reason...

 

This is the precise reason why i stayed with windows 7. windows ten sucks more than....... a... err.... vacuum cleaner, if you want to get rid on that malware y tray icon, there are many ways on the internet of removing it.

if i could and it was still supported i would probably go back to windows xp, it has no disruptions and it does as it is told with no problems

 

Have fun when security updates stop.

 

but that is not happening any time soon, i installed a virtual machine for windows xp and that decided to update itself. anyway by 2020 Microsoft will probably stop support for windows vista and a fey years on from there they will stop support for windows 7, i still have a good fey years of good old win 7 and i will probably get a new PC by then

 

I'm fairly sure that System Restore is disabled by default in Windows 10.

 

Because Microsoft. Are you expecting logic from them?

 

Have you tried unplugging all usb devices?

 

That would neither cause nor resolve the problem.

 

-Little bump-
Any news?

 

get a memory stick and another computer, put puppy linux on that memory stick using YUMI installer, boot to linux by booting off the usb drive and browse into your HDD, copy any files that are important on the boot drive and after that format that hard drive, reintall windows and copy the files back from the memory stick
