If the computer is powered off during this process the installation process will be interrupted. What happens if you force stop the windows update while updating? Any interruption would bring damage to your operating system. The biggest updates, released in the spring and fall of every year, take upwards of four hours to install — if there are no problems.
The process takes even longer if you have a fragmented or nearly filled hard drive. Windows updates could take up an amount of disk space. The outdated or faulty hardware drivers can also be the culprit. Corrupted or damaged system files on your computer may also be the reason why your Windows 10 update is slow. Is there something else I can try? When in safe mode make sure C: drive is not out of space. In my case I have to increase the size of C: drive which fixed the problem.
I have virtual environment, if your PC is physical make sure you delete unwanted space from your C: drive to get back the space. My window 7 has been stucked on the failure to configure page. I have tried safe mode as directed but it still gets stucked same place.
Can any other thing I done with me having to lose my files? If pc continuously 'reverting changes' manually install the available Windows updates one at a time until you find the failing update- troubleshoot individually, or exclude the failing update from the install list. Windows update reverting changes.. Your computer Its showing this thing..
What should i do?? Never did a hard restart but was still stuck on the "Preparing to configure Windows Stuck all night. Ironic, at this very moment my laptop is stuck on the "Failure Configuring Windows Updates" error message screen for the past 3 hours , and I just discovered that I do not have restore points at all on that system, as I just installed a new hard drive yesterday.
This means I get to reinstall Windows 7 - all over again. Fortunately, I also have this relic of a desktop Last week I had 10 updates which failed and I had to revert back to an older update. Now for a week I have tried to install updates of them now because I reverted to back before a service package anyway Reading a windows troubleshoot said to turn off antivirus for one reset then turn back on once configured.
Still failing to configure. Thanks for all comments. I observed that starting some systems from safe mode may not resolve the issue. It is however the primary starting point which has proved useful as attested to many computer users. My laptop said please wait and I waited 20minutes already. Can someone please fix this and tell how to do it and it said restarting but it went back the same problem. Omogiade, thank you so much for posting this.
I waited an hour on that stupid screen and your instructions worked perfectly. Thanks again sit! Follow the steps I discussed and the problem will be solved. If the problem persist contact Microsoft help desk or perhaps you may need to format your system. Sometimes, the updates get stuck at a particular point and may take longer than 2 hours.
Log on normally and continue installing the updates. Before doing this, make sure that there is a system restore point in the system. The absence of the system restore point may not help with the issue.
Please be guided by the following instructions:. Before running any update issues, creating a manual restore point may also be an option. Here's how to:.
