Hi,

Last night, I decided to go to bed and shut down my desktop. Windows 7 indicated there were new updates, so I allowed them to be installed. After having the screen saying: "Don't turn the PC off. Installing update ## of 12.." on for about an hour, it reached update 10 and stayed there for a while. Confident it'd finish soon, I went to bed and left it running overnight.

This morning I woke up and it was still busy installing update 10 out of 12, after running for nearly 9 hours. I kept it on however, and at the time that I'm writing this, it has been running for nearly 11 hours now, stuck on the same update. I'm afraid it froze but I don't know what'll happen if I turn my desktop off and re-boot it, afraid I'll ruin some crucial data on my harddisk.

I hope you can help me with this issue.

Greetings.

Ok, nevermind. Got it working again by a daring re-boot in safe mode.

If you do turn the machine off before the updates complete a restore point should have been created.
