W10 update stuck @ 100% complete

Hi,

To help fix this issue with Windows 10 update getting stuck at 100%, you can check Likhitha V's post on this link.

If you have other questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

Thank you.

This does not answer the question asked.

Austin_947 said that he could not get to the Windows logon screen due to the problem update.

but the answer you linked to assumes that the account has successfully logged in.

A person here went into a meeting, with his non-domain Microsoft Surface Pro this morning and is in the same situation. The old Windows 7 solution was a forced power down and use safe mode.

The Windows 10 Surface Pro is just a paperweight and needs a huge windows 10 download on a second working computer, bootable USB and BIOS instructions to get working again.

It would be delightful if we could get a line of text or some indication of what's causing problems after 5-10 minutes stuck on the same bootup update screen. And not an error code alone that demands a second internet connected device to interpret as is the Windows 10 fashion. 

The current non-communicative state destroys the reliability of Windows 10. 

Hello Gary,

The issue might occur because there might be corrupted or missing Windows Update components on your PC. Did you perform the suggestion of Likhitha V on this link?

We'll wait for your update.

Hi! I had no problem with patch Tuesday other then it took 2 and 1/2 hours to complete. I have the cleanest meanest Toshiba Laptop in the universe. Thanks for your reply, but I have no idea what you are talking about. I sit and watched the update until it completed and immediately created a thread here on the forum about my experience with patch Tuesday. I'm fully aware of what's going on and I have no problems. I spend a lot of time here helping members with up date problems.

My update worked and I have no problems! I'm just trying to get the big dogs at MS involved in this and so far it's not working out!

Reading Step 1 of Likhitha V's solution says.

"

1. Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type Services and select the top most search result.

"

That cannot be carried out when windows 10 does not get to the logon screen, despite hours or an overnight of waiting, looking at a page that says nothing other than "Configuring Windows Updates 100% complete".

To do that we have to get to a login or recovery console or Safe mode.

I must use a bootable USB, and a lot of messing. Every time, for each affected device. 

Can I trust a Windows 10 Pro Laptop or Surface to be usable when it's needed? Primarily the fault of windows updates; No.

Windows 10 Enterprise is excessively complex for SMEs and the self employed to acquire and configure / group policy / WSUS / updates just to return to Windows 7 levels of reliability.

Hi! Please check out these links created by Greg Carmack. I know a clean boot is APITA, but it seems that is some PC users best choice. Let me know how things go for you!

Clean Install Windows 10 - Microsoft Community

Here's a quote from one of the above links by Greg!

What we're seeing especially in Windows 10 is that "the install is everything" so if you want to invest in the very best install of all do the vastly superior Clean Install Windows 10 which has no issues reported at all while we have Upgrade and Factory install problems reported here every few minutes.  You will get and keep the best possible install to the exact extent you stick with the steps, tools and methods in the link. 

I had the same problem and it appears it was because I did not have a network connection.

As soon as I put cable with working internet, the box started after reboot.
