I'm Robert.
No idea what the problem was. Wife says she turned PC on, saw some kind of message asking to 'something' as she put it or continue which she says she ignored the message and did nothing. Time I had a look desktop had gone and eternal egg timer spinning which it did for much of the day. I eventually left it off for a while and then re-booted, when I hit F8 ( I don't actually think the F8 actually had any baring at this stage) an on screen message said 'working on updates, 100% complete, Do not turn off computer. It then automatically re-booted with the desktop now all showing as normal. A message then appeared saying Windows 10 was ready - Upgrade or Upgrade later so I opted to click on upgrade which it di without issue. All has been well since. Heaven knows what had occurred, just glad my barely one year old touch screen Lenovo desktop is fine - phew !!

My win 8 laptop does hang when rebooting. dunno why, but even though they say not to switch off you have to . then restart and it finishes off the update and away you go. If you even try to restart the pc it does the same. you have to switch off either through the normal shautdown of if stuck just hold power for 5 secs. Its a pain, but its been like this from relatively new so I'm used to it

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

You were lucky, took a couple of days for Win 10 to download to mine, then it caused mass problems till it downloaded a fix. I rather like it now but it chewed thru days and heaps of bandwidth to do it.
