Do you have the space to install the updates?

yeah i just tried it and it undone the updates so i was then able to start windows as normal, i tried 10 of the updates this time and it did the same, i dont know what the problem is.

Do you have the space to install the updates?

yeah there is about 10g spare on the hard drive

Is it definitely freezing? How long did you leave it for to update?

Can you boot into safe mode?

Can you perform a system restore from safe mode?

yeah the wee circle no longer animates and it stays at 15%, i did not leave it for a long time as i assumed had froze, also i could hear the fan on the pc go full spped too for some reason.

yeah i can get into safe mode but i dont have restore turned on, the pc is tweaked

also when i booted into safe mode it says updates failed so they were undone
