How long did Sims 4 take to install. So far it has taken me 8 hours to download and I still haven't gotten to the Installation stage. Using Microsoft Enterprise Library Logging Configuration more. Online Service Updates; EA. Original title: We'll search the Windows forum for an answerWhy are Windows updates so slow (and long) with Windows 7 I have a new netbook with windows 7 starter.

Well that would be the only way to actual apply the updates. Really I think it had a fluke when it was updating.

I would say give it another go. However if you would like to use the computer without updating it ever then you can use the command in command prompt 'shutdown /r /t 1' This is a windows program named shutdown, the /r switch commands it to restart, and the /t 1 switch tells it to restart in one second. Furthermore using /s instead of /r will shut it down.

I would not recommend using a windows PC without updating it. I gave it another go and it got stuck again. I guess I'll have to get lucky again. Ok so you can get to windows.once you get into windows hold the windows key + X.

Once the menu pops up at the bottom left hand corner then you click 'command prompt (admin)' once you at the command prompt then type in 'sfc /scannow' This will scan all windows system files. If that comes back fine and nothing pops up during that scan then in the same command prompt type in 'chkdsk /r /f' and it will ask you to restart the computer because the disk is locked and cannot do it right now. This will scan your hard drive's partition that windows is installed on and repair any corruption. This could possibly fix issues that is perhaps hindering windows updates. WARNING: Do this command if you have a long time where you do not have to use the computer for example before you goto sleep because it can take a while. Let me know the results! Yeah, succeeded again, but this time, I think I know what's causing this problem.

So, when I get stuck, all it takes to do is disconnect my hard drive and only leave the SSD connected where the system is, then the updates revert themselves. I think the main reason for this happening is the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver.

It has caused me problems before and I think it's the main issue in this case. I'll reinstall the driver and see how it goes. Wish me luck Bleh software RAIDs.Do you use the RAID? If not you dont need that software. You would have better performance if you just use a drive and perhaps backup that one to the other drive ones a night.
