Windows Update Hangs

Thank you for your reply on how to stop hibernation..I see in power settings I can set it to sleep as Never etc..but the only place I see hibernation is in the advanced section where you have to set a specific number of minutes..its a lot of minutes for overnight..Is hibernate the same a sleep?

YES. You can change the POWER SETTINGS to avoid it doing this. If you have a key on your keyboard with SLEEP or a crescent moon on it, put it out of reach for fear of klutziness and I suggest either popping it off or changing keyboards. I see little use for hibernation vs. saving and shutting down anyway.

I am not crazy. I have been using Windows for 31 years. Watch your tongue please.

WTH are you talking about I never called you crazy and big deal 31 yrs so I used to work in systems & that's how I know this update issue is a Microsoft issue..

Not you, whomever posted it.

Sheesh, this whole problem is as good as a YAHOO! story about the Kardashians for raising a stink.

PS I fixed mine, the Download is not going to tell you how far along you are until it's time to install and if you are waiting for hours and haven't got a installation that is either new or has sat unused for months or years you should be searching the site for solved questions etc as well as the rest of the internet I guess.

Honestly, I'm going to drop all the email notifications I can find on this topic and go ride one of my vintage bikes with my AM radio playing oldies.

I see the hibernate section in the advanced sleep section and it is set to off..should have seen that before!  No "sleep" button on my keyboard..I think I am ok.
