    Tgatline et al,

    Thanks for the comments.

    Sorry this does not work for me.

    I have an AMD chip btw.

    Just fyi, I had restored the system as I explained previously. After restoring it was working fine. I just left it off the internet/ethernet and I was just putting it on the network to copy some files, darn, one time I forgot to take it off the network after (unplug it from cable modem), and next morning it was installing the upgrade again (even though it is set to not install and was not restarted).

    So now I had the problem back, so I tried your solution to start windows reinstall without remove files, then on the ready screen selected cancel. The system restarted and went into the same routine just shows the windows logo and never stops running.

    So I am going back to my restore point before the update started.

    Maybe something to do with AMD.

    PS I see the comment from Louie about clearing  an item, I may try that now I had not tried it yet as I dont have a lot of time to mess with it.

    Thanks again. Will report back if anything changes.

    Make sure to uninstall all other antivirus and malware programs by deactivating the license and uninstall and use their cleanup tool if they have one. (Be sure to copy the license if it is paid program for reinstall. Disconnect all outside hardware except mouse.

    Disconnect totally from the internet after making the ISO.

    Try  opening settings>>update and recovery>> Recovery>>advanced startup> Restart now. Hopefully it wiill boot from the USB or DVD you made. .Or download the Iso to your computer right click on the iso and mount it .Run setup from there.

    Hope this will help.
