Windows11 Update Stuck

Windows11 Update Stuck

Anonymous

Yesterday 11th of March I attempted to install the new cumulative Update KB5053598. After downloading it got stuck installing at 93%. After around 15 minutes or so I Iost patience and clicked restart. When it had started the restart process it showed the usual black screen with "Updates are under way, please do not turn off your computer".

After taking an unusual amount of time (at least 20 minutes) to finally start up again, I checked settings/windows updates/update history, and the update was there showing as successfully installed. I also checked settings/system/about and the build number had also changed to 26100.3476, which corresponds to KB5053598.

My questions are- Has this updated the complete update or a shortened version of the update?- is it valid or could it cause problems down the line, perhaps when further updates are being installed? Grateful for answers to this.

Windows updates can be troublesome sometimes to install, rest assured, it is not an indication of a problem with your PC or your hardware.

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Many people are reporting problems installing the March update, if it was showing as stuck at 93%, most likely it had reached 100% in the background, if your Build No. is now showing 26100.3476, then that update has fully installed and there is nothing further you need to do.

Thank you Dave, that is reassuring. My computer is less than a year old but I don't think I have had two consecutive updates that have gone smoothly. do you think there is a more general problem(s) with the Windows updating system, ie, from the Microsoft end?
