Forcing a system restart during a Windows update
Forcing a system restart during a Windows update
I attempted to join the Windows Insider Preview on my computer recently, and most of the process went smoothly. After assigning my PC to the Slow ring and restarting, I was able to sit back. However, since it's running Windows, some issues arose. Because of the restart, I can't reach the Windows Insider panel in settings, and whenever my PC checks for updates—whether automatically or manually—it always restarts. It takes more than half an hour without a restart, and altering the update check settings only triggers another reboot. Right now I'm not there to offer solutions, but any suggestions other than a full reinstall would be appreciated.
I have before, and to be honest, I have never had the crippling problems many have had. And yes, the only way back is to reinstall, or pull out of insider, wait for release to catch up, then go from there. Ughhhhhhhhh why Microsoft why.
