    Vista Home Premium updates stalled

    Vista Home Premium updated tonight. Been several hours and stuck at "Installing update 6 of 18"??? How long does this take or is there a problem.

    Hi. welcome to vistax64..
    do you use to do updates on that machine regularly? what service pack is the windows on?

    Do not turn off that pc at this stage and make sure its plug to the charger so that it don't run out of battery..
    cheers

    There is a problem but as stated don't turn it off just yet. If it finishes go to windows update a set it to notify you when updates are available and install them in small batches manually.
