Yesterday I shutdown my notebook, and Windows 7 Ultimate started to install automatic updates. After one hour, I noticed that the update was still running. I thought OK, I shall go to sleep and let it run. In the morning it was still running.

Thus, I thought it had crashed, forced a shutdown of the notebook and then restarted it. With the same effect that the notebook is "freezing" at "Install Update 1 of 5".

It does not look like it has crashed. The progress wheel is still moving. But it does not make any progress...

Would appreciate any help!

Edit:
OK, I was able to log-in into safe mode. This way I passed the install update screen. I do not want to generally disable updates, what can I do to not install the last update, which is creating troube. Or how can I find out whats the problem with the last update?

Tom, you should make the last Edit an answer and mark it as accepted. This way people looking for a solution will find it easier. Also it will limit the number of open unanswered questions on this site. – Joe Taylor Jan 13 '11 at 9:58
SU forces me to wait two days to accept my answer to my question. But you are right. – Tom Tom Jan 13 '11 at 10:10

Starting in safe mode and installing the updates manually has solved the problem.

Try and force and shut down and install the updates while the computer is running as opposed to doing it before/during shut down.

Actually would be nice. But I can not pass the install update screen. Is there a way to log-in without installing the updates, when w7 already begun to install them? – Tom Tom Jan 13 '11 at 8:16
