I'm having some trouble with my computer and I'm going to university soon, so any help would be appreciated because having a malfunctioning computer would just add to the stress of it all. I don't want to have to buy a new laptop.
Whenever I turn on my computer it always goes into the 'Configuring Windows updates' screen and gets stuck on exactly 46% for about 5 minutes. It's really elongating the time it takes to turn on, which is annoying. I requested Windows 10 about a month ago and the Windows update 46% stall started happening about a week after that. Maybe if I cancel my W10 request it will stop, but Windows has removed the option to easily cancel the request by right-clicking on the icon in the taskbar, so I'm not sure how to do it now.
It might also be related to the fact that several months ago my computer had a BSOD, and when I next turned it on my Windows stopped being 'genuine' (which meant my wallpaper was a black screen with no way of changing it, and I wasn't eligible for updates). I later used the 'SLMGR /REARM' method in cmd to force it to become genuine again.
Sorry for not being much help. I know it's a real pain trying to identify what's causing a computer problem. If anyone has any ideas of how I can fix this Windows update issue, please share.
