Since not all devices and components are active in Safe Mode, this will result in only partial updates. This eventually leads to intermittent file errors or registry errors when you finally boot the PC normally. Because of this, services and features that we are used to running in the background, such as Windows updates, will not be activated by default. Note: Microsoft recommends that you do not install service packs or updates when Windows is running in Safe mode unless you cannot start Windows normally . Even so, if you do install a service pack or update while Windows is running in Safe mode, immediately reinstall it after you start Windows normally. The article does explain how to do updates in safe mode with the caveat: By following these steps, you should now be able to get the latest Windows updates, even when you boot the PC in Safe Mode. While this is not recommended, there are a few situations when this may be your only choice left. News to me! The plot just keeps on thickening.

It often says updates which have been installed then uninstalled are still installed.

How long is this supposed to take? I started it at 8am and it’s only at 26%. I have work I need to do. Is it safe to do a hard reboot and do this later? I don’t have time to wait for a 3-day install. Mine took well over an hour. I'm reading the average is 60 - 90 minutes, but many factors come into play. I have no answer to the hard reboot question. I have not tried this but read you can try installing updates in Safe Mode . It may be that some programs or non-system processes are interfering with the update and causing the ‘hanging’ issue. Has anyone here updated in Safe Mode??? I'd be curious to know how it affected to DL time and hang issues. Good Luck Corey

So for people having problems, I would try to install updates in safe mode.

I am answering my own question after finding this article on line and to give info to anyone who may want to update in in this way.

https://windowsreport.com/install-windows-updates-safe-mode/

As for installing updates in safe mode:

from the article:

Should you install Windows Updates in Safe Mode?

Since not all devices and components are active in Safe Mode, this will result in only partial updates. This eventually leads to intermittent file errors or registry errors when you finally boot the PC normally.

Because of this, services and features that we are used to running in the background, such as Windows updates, will not be activated by default.

Note: Microsoft recommends that you do not install service packs or updates when Windows is running in Safe mode unless you cannot start Windows normally.

Even so, if you do install a service pack or update while Windows is running in Safe mode, immediately reinstall it after you start Windows normally.

The article does explain how to do updates in safe mode with the caveat:

By following these steps, you should now be able to get the latest Windows updates, even when you boot the PC in Safe Mode.

While this is not recommended, there are a few situations when this may be your only choice left.

News to me! The plot just keeps on thickening.

Thank you Reno for posting this. I do take exception to the sentence "Microsoft Edge is the web browser recommendedby Microsoft and is the default web browser for Windows." RECOMMENDED? Recommend to me means to give advice, suggest, advise.

Due to the fact that we cannot UNINSTALL Edge is a FORCED ADDITION (not a recommendation) and a complete means of trying to get us to use it! An analogy: I would recommend you jump off the cliff and when you don't, I push you! :D

Any other browser I have installed I can completely get rid of if I want to. I did set my default to another browser, however, once in

awhile a link will open in EDGE. I immediately click out of it. If this is what Microsoft Support said they are totally wrong in using the word RECOMMENDED. They should say WE FORCE YOU TO KEEP edge on your computer -- like it or lump it. Total disregard to what I want or need.

Going to the MS edge support website would be futile. They force us to keep edge no matter what. JMO!

I realize there are bigger and worse issues people are dealing with at the moment (me included) but this just irks me. Whenever I log into these boards, I get the nag screen at the top: "The new browser recommended by Microsoft is Here. I always click no thanks. Since I already have EDGE forced on my machine, I'm thinking clicking "no thanks" doesn't seem to do much! I'm sure it's aimed at people who have not had this thrust upon them yet.

On another note: I read your bio and am truly impressed with your many accomplishments, mostly "self-taught"- based on your medical (dis)ability! Kudos to you! I have the utmost respect for your tenacity in becoming very accomplished in many areas!
