Windows Update is an
extremely useful tool that helps your computer and your OS to perform to its
optimal level with minimum hassles. When turned on, Windows Update would
silently collect all the updates from Microsoft and then install them when you
shut down your computer or when you manually decide to get the updates.
While Windows Update
is no doubt an extremely useful tool and application that helps the OS in
performing to the best of its capabilities, Windows Update itself can sometime
cause a lot of problems. Usually, due to a wide variety of reasons that are
beyond your control, the computer hangs or freezes while installing the
updates. I have personally experienced these issues quite a lot.
Once, I pressed the
shut down button and the Windows update started to download a patch. I knew
that once the update would be configured, the PC would shut down and thus, left
the PC as it is and went to the market. Even on return, the updates were being
configured. Many people face similar dilemmas during an update configuration.
Here it remains
important that you understand the problem and tackle it correctly so that you
end up successfully fixing Windows Update.
Windows
Update not Working?
Usually people start
to panic too early when updates are being configured and do something that ends
up causing the problem. Knowing when to panic can really help.
Here are the steps By Info
Tech Line reviews :-
§ Wait for around 30 minutes while the updates
are getting configured.
§ Check your hard drive activity light to see if
it is blinking consistently or not.
Before starting to
panic and before starting to think that there is a problem with Windows Update,
you must firstly ensure that there is a problem. Mostly, people perceive that a
problem is prevalent when it actually doesn’t exist. As a result, any measures
that are taken to solve the problem do nothing but create a problem.
Therefore, it remains
a must that you first verify the issue and then panic and see how the problem
can be averted. To do this, you should wait for at least 30 minutes or more and
should check your hard drive’s activity light. A patch or update might be very
large in size and might take some time leading you to believe that the computer
has frozen.
By waiting 30 minutes,
you can give the update enough time to be downloaded and configured. After the
30 minutes, see the activity light.
If it is consistently
blinking then the system would be still processing something. However, in most
cases the blinking would be non-existent showing that the computer has frozen
and that now it is time for you to panic.
Windows
Update Service not Running?
Now that you are sure
that the problem lies with the update, you should move on to your second
problem i.e. what to do next? Here are the things that you can try:
Here are the steps By Info
Tech Line reviews :-
§ Press Ctl+Alt+Del to login again and reboot
the system again.
§ Cut the power from the main line or turn off
the PC through the power off button.
Once you are sure that
the computer has frozen, you should try to unfreeze it somehow. You can do this
by trying to open the Task manager through the Ctrl+Alt+Del shortcut. If the
system allows this then you can easily login again and end the update.
However, in most
cases, you won’t be able to do this and thus, turning off the PC through the
power off button or switching off power remains your only two options.
Manual
Fix (Expert Users Only)
When
the update process would freeze, a simple restart won’t be good enough to get
your PC back to normal.
Here are the steps By Info
Tech Line reviews :-
§ Start
your Windows in Safe Mode and restore your PC to a point before the update.
§ Repair
the Windows.
§ Start
fresh by formatting the drive where the OS was installed and reinstall it.
In
most cases, after a Windows update failure which prompts you to restart your
PC, either you won’t be allowed access to the desktop screen or the computer
would hang once you access the display screen. In such a case, you should first
try starting the windows in Safe Mode. In Safe Mode, your PC would run with the
minimum requirements that Windows requires for booting.
If
the computer loads properly in Safe Mode then you should try to restore your OS
to a previous point where your computer acted normally. However, if you don’t
get the chance then repairing your OS remains a great option. In case the
problem still doesn’t get solved then you would be left with no option but to
format your hard drive where the OS is installed before reinstalling it.
This
option should be your last choice as it would involve a lot of data loss on
your part.All in
all, fixing Windows Update and the issues it can cause can become extremely
easy if you follow the instructions given above. By not panicking at first and
confirming the problem and tackling the problems with a cool mind, you should
be able to restore your PC to its normal condition within no time.
