Windows 10 updating

The update was introduced in the usual underhand way when I went to turn the machine off. You get the options of Sleep, Shutdown or Restart - I chose shut down, and then it came up with Update and shutdown so tgere was nothingbelse to do.
in the end i went to bed and leftnit running.
in the morning the battery was run down, i plugged it in and BINGO got the normal start screen.

This explains about how to get rid of the blue screen with windows 10

Can you get youtube up on your phone. Assuming that's what you are using with GN.

Good luck,

ExD this very same thing happened to a new laptop I'd only had over 2 years last year, so I bought another, this one which is now 6 months old.

The other one, an Acer was looping the same message about it being a Toshiba driver and this went on for 24hrs. It drove me mad because it wouldn't shift off the screen. In the end I gave it to my GS before I flung it in the bin in temper.
Needless to say he hasn't had time yet to sort it.

I thought the same thing had happened to this one a couple of weeks ago when it froze and was out of action for 3 days but I'd had a new hub still in its box from February and phoned up my ISP who talked me through changing it as we're all fibre here, so hopefully no more nonsense out of it.

The other new laptop didn't respond after Windows updates.

The October 2020 Upgrade is right now accessible for select gadgets running Windows 10, adaptation 1903 or afterward who need to introduce the unused discharge. To check on the off chance that it's accessible for you, go to Settings > Overhaul & Security > Windows Upgrade, and tap Check for Overhauls

It is not usual for a laptop update to take over 4 hours,it took me an hour to update on my computer,i did it according to my teacher’s upgrade method, and nothing bad happened.

Before I did the Windows 10 upgrade,i read this.
www.winpwd.com/windows-10-update-problems.html
It summarized some of the problems that may occur during the Windows 10 updating.

My Windows 10 is a nightmare too only stays connected for short periods and won’t reconnect whatever you do unless you turn off completely. Because it’s a new computer you can’t roll back the updates, now waiting for a LAD adaptor to try without WIFI

I hope you got things going again. I hate this technical stuff. I stupidly did the same as you ExD never again. I got the ironing done while I waited, then went downstairs to watch telly as I can't just sit at the keyboard waiting for something to happen.

Things came back but not the same. I googled how to get google back and lo and behold it worked! I had to re-enter passwords for GN and MN but got in. I don't use any other websites so my sympathies for you. I'm never pressing that button again.

I want my PC to stay the same. I'm too old for this nonsense.

I updated my Windows 10 laptop last week. It took me 2 days!

It kept getting stuck at 61% install, for hours ........then nothing. I ran all the various 'fixes', the Windows troubleshooting tool, the command line instructions and so on. I searched online for 'stuck at 61%'. There were suggestions that there were problems with the sound drivers, so I followed instructions and deleted the drivers (to be updated after the update). I ended up with a laptop I couldn't update and without any sound.

Eventually, I 'reset' Windows 10. I stopped caring about whether I lost any files and just did it. It worked and down-loaded the update and I didn't lose any data. But there was still no sound.

Finally, I ran a system health check (through the command line) and I now have an updated W10 laptop with sound.

I have been increasing frustrated with my Windows laptop. I have just updated an iMac and a Macbook Air to their latest operating systems. Each took a couple of hours, showed a bar on the screen with progress and download speed information, and just 'worked' (although, to be fair, I have had problems in the past, but Apple support was really good).

So ExD, you are not alone in your W10 troubles. I wish you luck.

Oh dear. I left my PC quietly updating itself. The warning did say that it would take longer to update than usual. I'd better go and check on it...

Phew. Just checked. All done. Looks a bit different but I'll get used to it.

When I switched on this morning I just got a photo of a landscape - no icons at all on which to click, what on earth to do? Damnation. I thought I'd have to take it to the shop if they're open and if not bribe a young nephew to help.

In desperation I pressed 'Esc' which I've never done before and lo and behold the almost normal stuff came back and I was able to cope. Phew! Sometimes I feel like going to live in a remote log cabin and having nothing to do with the modern world. Anyone else feel the same way?

I hate these updates as I am not sure who they are intended to benefit. They usually result in annoying changes that I have to get my head around.

Dinosaur, moi!?
