Can I cancel ongoing updates?

original title: CANCELLATION DURING the UPDATE

If Windows updates an optional program that takes too long (for example, 50% in fact)... and I just CANCEL it and TURN OFF PC altogether.  When I go back and turn on the PC is there left of 50% of the update or the update must start from scratch?

Thank you
Josephine

Hi Josephine,.

·         Are you referring to the configuration of update or Windows Update download?

As a general rule, Windows Update will not 50% resume. The update of Windows will start from the beginning and after that Setup will begin to install it.

If the blocked after a given time Windows Update, then you can follow these method to solve the problem:

Method 1: Try the procedure described in the following article and verify.

Method 2: I suggest to perform the clean boot and then try to install Windows Update.
