Windows update nearly screwed my laptop

Not good!

Published on August 26, 2015 By Uvah In Personal Computing

Auto updates worked fine for a while until today. There were 68 updates and it was stuck on number 41 for over two hours! Hell with that. I forced a shut down, restarted and the updates went through anyway. No fuss no bother. Then I changed the settings. Updates will download but I'll decide if they get installed. Shades of Win 10......

Found this on a forum, Uvah:

Look at the registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

and see if there is an entry for PendingFileRenameOperation

If so, you can try deleting this value. By the way you should backup the key first....
