The laptop I've been using suddenly decided it doesn't want to download updates anymore. I went to troubleshooting, and it linked me to the Microsoft site, which recommended this particular tool. This thing has been running for 14 hrs now. Has anyone here ever used this tool, and how long should this be taking? I'm beyond beginning to wonder if it's also not working correctly, and just in some endless loop in the twilight zone somewhere. If you're familiar with this repair tool, Please, let me know if this is normal.
Thank you in advance!
Update: I do NOT recommend this tool!
Oh sure, it started out just fine. Followed all the prompts and after about 10 minutes it went into "resolving problems" , which is where it hovered for well over 30 hours. I know next to nothing about computers, but I'm sure with the right parts and instruction guide I could assemble a new one faster than this thing moved. I'm normally a very patient person, but this tool has tested my limit! I finally cancelled out of it about an hour ago and did a system restore, which I was really trying to avoid. I have heard it's not healthy to use it too much on older computers. It is updating just fine now however, so something was hokey. Anyway, just FYI, this "tool" is useless. Don't waste your time with it if you ever have similar problems.
