I ran defrag and disk cleaner from system tools and then had to shut the computer down because I had to go somewhere. When I booted the 8500 in came back with Configuring Window updates 100% complete Do Not Turn off your computer. It's been like this for 10 minutes. It seems like its hung up but I'm leery to turn it off or try resetting it because I may screw something up. Thoughts/suggestions? Robert Leave it to do its thing, Robert! Go grab a coffee or go for a walk! ;-) -- David B. |

OK, its been 1 hour now Robert At some point, you will either have to control-alt-delete it, or use the reset button on the front of the computer. The machine should come up on its own (Windows 7). The Windows Update history list should show which update has failed in this case (the most recent one). If it doesn't, use your Windows 7 emergency boot CD, and from Troubleshooting : Command Prompt, do: dism /image:c:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions While I've heard of someone using that successfully on Windows 10, I'll use this web page as proof such a capability exists on Windows 7. The thing is, Windows 7 has a different "DISM" command than the other OSes do. But that command, according to this blog, should still work. https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/...dows-7-2008r2/ Paul |

Yes but what is running in the background? Robert I don't know. That's why I suggested those other things last time (Process Explorer and Task Manager), but as Paul has suggested, it might come down to that stupid svchost stuff, and then we're kinda stuck. |

I powered the 8500 off and then restarted
it and the desktop came on much quicker this time. So I guess the defrag and disk cleaning helped? I actually use to run them on a regular basis but it's been some time. Robert |

In Control Panels, you could check the Windows Update and look at the History in there, to see what happened. Paul |

I went into the action center for the update
history, then went to to Control panels. http://i66.tinypic.com/1zx7iu9.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/s3k9y9.jpg Robert |
