Is Your Windows Pc Playing Up?
It is likely best to go through the steps as written for the best results. I restored Windows 7 from a 9/2015 system image and experienced the (apparently) endless spinning from Windows Update.

In the morning, it was still spinning so I turned off the automatic update feature and went to restart to begin the fix from this article, and it automatically installed 85 updates during shutdown.

- Microsoft can download automatically detect problems and pause the rollout.
- Similar to the macOS Notification Center, the Action Center shows messages from email, the system itself (you’ve installed an update, for example), and from apps.
- Windows Update won’t just automatically offer the driver update to all PCs.
