Windows update problem
Wednesday night, I shut down the box of tricks (a Dell) and it told me not to switch off as it was downloading Windows updates. So off I go to bed and at 0730 Thursday, it tells me that it is downloading number 19 of 24 and not to turn off the computer. At 1230 it is still doing the same......
So I forced a switch off with the power switch. Switched back on and it configured the various updates and worked. Tried powering down, and it got some more updates and powered down. Again on switching on, it configured them, but on powering down, it again went off and tells me that it is down loading two updates and it sticks at update 1 of 2 every time I use the 'soft power down.
So how do I get it to stop trying to get these updates, one of which appears to be corrupted and causing the thing to 'stick'? And perhaps get the updates that are missing?
