Windows Update Stuck or Frozen? Here's How to Fix It

The installation of one or more Windows updates is probably stuck or frozen if you see one of the following messages persist for a long time:

• Preparing to configure Windows. / Do not turn off your computer.
• Configuring Windows updates / x% complete / Do not turn off your computer.
• Please do not power off or unplug your machine. / Installing update x of x...
• Working on updates / x% complete / Don't turn off your computer
• Keep your PC on until this is done / Installing update x of x...
• Getting Windows ready / Don't turn off your computer

 Sometimes Restarting is all you'll see on the screen. There might also be some wording differences depending on which version of Windows you're using.

If you don't see anything at all on screen, especially if you think the updates might have been installed completely but could be the cause of whatever you're experiencing
