Updates

[zzstevo]

hi,
got this new HP Desktop comp just before xmas
8 gb of memory etc ... windows 10

but every day a blue window appears.... comp is restarting in 10 mins to install updates.... think they must be windows updates....

I dont have any say in the matter and the comp shuts down ... like today... and restarts.

today took 10 mins.... very frustrating , then when it came back... 5 mins later it rebooted itself again !!!

OK I can understand the need for updates, but maybe once a week or once a month ...

Is there any way I can control this and maybe schedule updates for once a month ?

thanks for any help or advice

How to see what updates were installed, or were attempting to be installed but failed:

If you are getting regular failures of updates to install, post the updated information and we can try to see if there is a fix for the issue. Even with Windows 10, there should not be daily or even weekly updates.

Maybe try the Windows Update Troubleshooter.

THANKS for links, just did the troubleshooter for windows updates probs

it just said no problems detected.

But im into a pattern now ... I turn on the comp 5 mins later a blue window comes up saying......... we are restarting your computor in 10 mins to reconfigure windows updates !

I have no choice in the matter !

its crazy !

Did the Windows Update History show which updates are installing/failed?

Which build/version of Windows 10 are you running?

You could try to manually download and install this month's security updates. I know the link says it's for Edge, but the downloads are for the monthly cumulative update.
