Posted February 6, 201311 yr FPCH Admin Since installing Win 8 on my laptop 3 months ago I have only been able to use my PC twice thanks to automatic updates. As updates had worked fine on previous versions of Windows I allowed them on this install, unfortunately my laptop has never completed boot since. After powering on all I get is the spinning activity symbol (which happily keeps spinning) and the message- Keep your PC plugged in until this is done. Installing update 1 of 6. This didn't surprise me at first but after an hour on the first attempt I started looking about for help, no joy, all solutions required actually being able to use the machine. To date the record is 10 hours before I've had to give up and no joy from support. I can't even revert back to 7 as the machine will not allow repair to run. This is last chance saloon before I just put a new drive in it and install 7 from scratch. View this thread Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
