Unfortunately you can't see what Update 7 is at this point. You just have to wait for it to shut down. It is not recommended to pull out the power while Windows is updating, because you don't know what it is doing and don't know what it is currently in the middle of.
It was still on update 7 of 10 by 2am and i powered off as i was tired and wanted to go to sleep. Luckily this morning my laptop seems to be in working order. It successfully installed and configured the six before it got stuck. I reckon windows have stuffed up at their end and sent out a faulty update.
I had 14 updates.
11 updates here (Win 7 64 bit), but I was expecting to see 14 as well, since at the Configuring stage it was going up in 7% steps (100/7 = 14.3). Odd.
I hide it every month but it still comes back!
I had 16 updates on Win 7 32 bit yesterday.
I have it too but it never gets auto-selected.
"Windows could not connect to the System Event Notification Service service". Please consult your system administrator. Limited Users won't be able to log on.
But there is only one account on the machine - mine which isn't a limited user.
I cannot find any problems online about so even I do a system restore I don't know which one caused the problems.
Has anyone else had a problem?
That what normally happens, it will just start again from where it left off. i have done that a few times when MS updates have got stuck.
Only one ive got out of those is KB2859537, no problems at all with it, even tried the Personalize, ie, etc... which someone reported not being able to run due to it, but alls fine here.
Are you running Vista? If not, what is claiming to be the Windows Security Centre could be malware.
I'm on Vista and it's still running okay after all the drama last night.I'm currently installing eight important updates so I'll see what happens afterwards.I don't usually have any problems with Windows Updates so the white screen & the security alert was very strange.
If people think I am talking bull here, Google Windows update problems. There are loads of tech blogs reporting problems. Like this:

Who needs a Virus when Micro$oft can wreck your system for you.
The Mrs 64 bit machine got killed by the updates, I managed to power it down and run in safe mode. Rolled it back a few days, powered up and turned all updates off permanently.
