I am in the process of updating windows. It is taking
forever. It is on the last one "Update Rollup 1 for
Microsoft Windows KB826939". It is still running in
Windows Task Manager, but it has been on this last update
for about an hour. No errors, no messages, no
indications on what it is doing or how much time is left
for the update - it says 0 minutes.
 
The update rollup is a very large update. Are you still connected to the
internet? If so the rollup package may still be downloading. This is one of
the annoying things with some updates. When you go to the update site the
update information might simply say that the file is 500kb. However, this
may only be the initial setup file. Once the 500kb is downloaded and
installed it then access the internet connection again, assuming you haven't
already disconnected, and begins a much bigger download. Sometimes in excess
of 100MB.
