Hi everyone,

 

 

 

I bought a new laptop, after the initial setup, I went into Windows Update and downloaded everything that was available, there was a good 25 or so updates

 

I selected the option to restart to install updates, it now says "Updates are underway, Please keep your computer on" - For a tad over an hour now

 

 

 

Is this normal? Or has it bricked itself?

 

Heading to 1130PM now have to go to sleep, thanks!

 

 

 

Edit - Finally some action, fans started pumping, there was a BIOS update, now it's doing a firmware update

Yep, normal.
And it could have another 3-4 cycles of windows updates to go.
(some won't download/update until others have been installed/restarted.)

Microsoft admits, it can take 48hrs+ for the operating system to know it needs some updates.

So it will probably be prompting for more, all week.
