Interestingly, another user (opens in new tab) on Reddit reports that their laptop died – completely and irrevocably – after they accidentally shut down the notebook in the middle of the update (by closing the lid). But if not, there’s potential for files to be corrupted if an update installation is interrupted mid-flow, which could be very bad news. The falsely-reported 'installation has finished' message could be quite a nasty problem if you go to shut down your PC when the update is actually still running – although presumably Windows will inform you that processes are still underway and stop the shutdown. This is reportedly happening to numerous users, and if you close the Settings panel after getting the message, then reopen it, you’ll see that the update is still in progress.Īnalysis: Come on Microsoft, get your act together As you can see, in the above Reddit thread, there’s also an odd complaint that the update tells you that it’s finished – with the ‘you’re up to date’ message – when in actual fact, the patch is still installing in the background.
