  1. Updating requires a force restart


    When I try to update my windows, my computer will say "Don't turn off your computer" then it will black screen as if it's restarting, but all of my rgb will stay on. Regardless of how long I let it sit like this, it will not change, no keyboard commands work, I can't click anything. One time after a few hours of it sitting like this, I force shut it down with the power button, even though I know how this is not something I should do. It was my only option. When I turned it back on it went back to saying "Don't turn off your computer" and started going through with the update. Now it'll do the

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Updating requires a force restart :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

    I want to follow the suggestion. But It is that before making a decision or action I usually analyze it or ask a little more, as long as it is something new for me
    :/

    Before Reset the Windows Update should I take into account the results of the Windows Update Troubleshooter ? The WUT of Windows itself does not correct the problem it finds. But the other WUT shows me (after the second attempt) as "corrected" and "completed".

    What I do not understand is why the WUT tells me that one of the steps is to remove the updates and re-download them (red rectangle). But when I give in "apply this correction" does not eleminate the update(Should?)

    Already in the final step in the report it tells me: that it is "corrected" in the first line. In the second it indicates "completed" and the text there says that one of the steps is to remove and re-download the update (is it supposed that WUT already did it or should I do it?)
    And what is that appears in the green box. Should I download it, remove it?

    Sorry if maybe I have not explained well before. I think it would be much easier if the OS language were in English because translating the texts of the images is a lot.

    Multiple Updates Requiring Restart, never registering as being installed

    This did not work. After performing all the steps in the first linking, rebooting, and running windows update again, I still have the same issue. In fact, it's worse now. KB4054517 is listed as requiring a restart,
    and KB4056892 is listed as Failed to Install.

    I am not reset and reinstall Windows 10. That's pretty extreme, and I don't have time to waste on something like that.
