Windows Installer stuck on "Please wait while setup is exiting"
Hi everyone, I recently shared an issue where my Windows 10 wasn't updating properly. I tried using a USB stick with a Windows 10 ISO to install the update manually. After launching the setup, everything seemed okay at first. I saved my files and programs and planned to install the update without replacing my current version. The progress reached 31% in about ten minutes, then it froze for more than an hour. Eventually, I clicked cancel because I saw a clear error. Now it’s been stuck for over an hour, and my PC is stuck on the "Please wait while setup exits" screen. I’m thinking a full reinstall might be necessary to get everything working again. Without being able to access my backup drives, I’m unsure if I should force shut down now or wait until I can restart from the C drive. I’m worried about potential problems if I power off abruptly.
