Windows Updates from Hell
Tuesday, April 9th, 2013 11:38 pmToday's Windows Updates aren't playing nicely with my computer.
The updates are getting stuck on the "Preparing to configure Windows" step. I had to force a reboot into safe mode, and had to go back to the restore point that was created prior to the updates.
I figured it must be a problem with only one of the 9 available updates. So I tried installing only the first one. But my computer still got stuck, and I had to go through the whole safe mode restore point reboot reboot reboot rigamarole again.
So then I thought it must be the first update that was causing the problem. So I left that one unselected, and tried installing 7 of the others. But it got stuck again.
It feels like I've rebooted twenty times in the last few hours.
