Fixed: Hung on Windows Update

[ddrueding]

Today I've had a bunch of computers hang on a Windows Update. After leaving them for a long period of time (>45 minutes) I got bored and tried an Alt-Ctrl-Del and got the login screen. This normally doesn't work, but it seems the recent updates have a glitch.

Was it a .Net update? I left a couple of computers sitting for 1+ hour (forgot about them) and then they worked. IDK why.

Coulda been. By the time I got there it had been hung for a while.

I had a number of servers hang on a .NET update last night as well. They were all Server 2003 machines and they all required a hard reset.
This crap never happens to my Centos machines. :evil::evil::evil::evil::evil:

My company provided Windows 7 computer has Office 2013 / 365 on it and it seems that on most patch Tuesdays it downloads somewhere between 800-1000MB of Office related updates. :cursin:

27 updates installed for me without a glitch / hitch. Don't know what was in them; I walked away.

No reports of end user machines hanging on updates here; just users who won't install their updates.

Run the "disk cleanup" utility for the best chance at getting space back.

I really wish the wsus admin console told me the last logged on user like my av console does.
