| What the forget is going on with my computer? *** NOT SOLVED *** |

| Tactical Nuke:
I have Windows 10 on my computer and it's constantly trying to update to a different version of Windows 10. I download the update and it needs to restart in order to "finish" installing it, so I choose "Update and Restart" before I go to bed. I wake up and it's still going and it doesn't say how much percent is left to download, so I head off to class and I do the things I need to do and I come back about three hours later and it's still going, so in order to do my work (I need my computer to do it), I have to manually reset my computer twice so that it reverts to the old version and I can actually do things. This process has been repeated every single day for two weeks, and it's gotten to the point where I'm starting to think my computer is starting to die (I bought it five years ago). I've considered that I wasn't giving it enough time to update, so last night I chose "Update and Restart" (at around 4:00 AM) and I woke up today and went to do tech for the winter musical. It was going until 10:00 PM, so I felt that that would be enough time. I just checked during break (~5:00 PM, that's more than 12 hours to do this) and it looks no different than usual whatsoever. /help |

I think you should get new a PC. |

Go back to win7 |

Windows 10 is a loving bullstuff OS and forces you to install updates, unfortunately. You can try this stuff to stop Windows 10 from force restarting your PC: Turning on the metered connection option (doesn't work on ethernet, I believe I heard that you can do a registry hack to forcefully put it in anyway?) Setting your "active hours", which Windows will not auto-reboot your PC in As for what's actually happening, I really don't know too well. I'll just say the obvious: Windows 10 is having trouble installing the updates. |

Unfortunately, there is literally no way to stop Win10 from installing updates. This is one of the main reasons I never switched to it, amongst other things. If re-installing the OS doesn't work, you'll have to switch to 7, 8.1, or something different altogether. There are plenty of great start menu programs for 8.1 that make it as seamless as it was in win7. |
