Answer 1

Actually, those are updates that have already been downloaded and in the progress of installing.

Keep waiting.

Check to ensure there is disk activity (look at the hard disk LED light to confirm. If there is, keep waiting. If setup goes beyond 2 to 3 hours, try the following steps.

Power down the computer. Unplug it, then wait 20 seconds.

If you are using a laptop, remove the battery if the option is available.

Disconnect it from the Internet (unplug Ethernet and/or turn off Wi-Fi).

Plug it again, ensure it remains disconnected from the Internet then start computer.

See if it completes setup.

If setup completes and you see the desktop with the ability to click Start and launch programs, proceed to reconnect to the Internet.

Hi Alfonso, I am Rob, a volunteer and a 10 time and dual award MVP specializing in Windows troubleshooting and Bluescreen analysis. Please remember as volunteers we are not responsible for the development of Windows or the computer hardware and drivers.

It had already downloaded the update and was waiting for a restart or shut down so it could finish. So you just need to wait a bit. Even though it says 100% it can take hours more.

And yes, that is a real pain.

Please let us know the results and if you need further assistance.
