It's not a Laptop. It's a desktop I built.

All has failed. I am going to turn off updates and wait for Windows 11!

Thank you for your calming words! You are of course right,life goes on. Just irritating when the computer takes twice a s long to boot up as it should cos it has to go through yet another failed update. Thank you also for the links I will pursue them.

What should I do now?

"When it is ready to reboot, hold shift and select restart from the star button and continue to hold shift. Then select Safe mode with networking and see if it can complete the update install." This does nothing! Still not updating. Should I turn off updates and wait for Windows 11?

What is the star button?

I have tried the troubleshooter.

I tried with firewall off and got the same result. What do I do now - buy a Mac?
