1414499 2016-01-14 20:12:00 My Win-7 ASUS laptop is still installing update 2 of 17 after more than 5-hours.
I am told "do not power off..." etc.
The computer has been kept up to date with updates until today.
What should I do? Please. Any suggestions?

1414500 2016-01-14 20:37:00 Sometimes they do get stuck. Had this happen several times on This W7 Computer. On the Mrs computer it said installing 1 of 15, Came out the following morning and it was exactly the same.

Theres a couple of things you can do, but to cut to the chase :) press and hold in the power button till it shuts down, then restart, hopefully it will start as normal or carry on installing OR turn to custard and you got a repair to do. If its a laptop make sure you are connected to the power, seen many times updates cause problems installing when only running on the battery.

other wise have a read of windows-update-frozen.htm (pcsupport.about.com) You can scroll down to "How To Fix a Stuck Windows Update Installation" if you dont want to read all the causes.

The little beast eventually closed its eye and shut itself down after about ten hours.
Re started okay afterwards too.
I will keep the link 'for next time'.
