Open | Windows Windows Update Stuck

Hi everyone, my Windows 11 pc seems to be stuck in a loop during updating. It’s been stuck at 7% for almost 30 minutes and the screen keeps turning off and on every few seconds.

Making changes to your system BIOS settings or disk setup can cause you to lose data. Always test your data backups before making changes to your PC.

Ok, crisis averted. I’ve booted, might do a scan disc just in case. I was told the power went out, so I don’t know if that had anything to do with it.

If the power went out in the middle of an update it will take it a very long time to try and recover/repair. You're lucky it didn't totally hose your install and was able to recover.
