Blue screen hang stating please do not turn off pc.. This is already up 3 hours and it only required to install new update from 1.5 mb Why is microshit so stupid that they have no easier way of updating without even rebooting pc. 

 

 

What do i do know do is have to reinstall windows or do i go into another bad day of reverting my pc into previous state witch will also take several hours to complete.. :(

there is a saying, "if something works dont fix it". most of the updates are not properly tested (kinda like vaccinations) so they use public as lab rats. turn automatic updates off and install new components manually when needed.

Just like skyrimsucks said - turn off automatic updates. If you need to update something then do it manually. It will take you less time and you'll have much easier time fixing it if something goes wrong.

Windows update sucks.

If you have actual blue screen (dump screen with stop error code) then system is already halted, I have never seen one say do not turn off system while in that screen except maybe during memory dump, after that you have to turn off yourself.

 

Once system is off you have 2 options I would try:

 

1. Boot system and press F8 > Advanced Options > Last know Good Configuration

2. System Restore from Command Prompt and roll back to before update > https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/304449

 

Hope that helps sorry it may be to late and after the fact
