Windows 10 update stuck at 78% - huhu350 - Aug 23, 2018
Hallo,
even after three restarts and one full shut down my Windows Update progress has yet to exceed 78% and I'm not sure what else I can try.
If you have any ideas, let me know.

Only do the following if your PC is functioning correctly and the 78% is in the Settings > Windows Update area. If it's at the blue screen, stop shutting it down. You'll damage your OS.
You can do the following manually but it's easier to have Windows fix it's own fuck up.

Download the appropriate one and run it. The first menu you see will have "Advanced" link, click it and make sure to run as Administrator.
Do it once, restart. Attempt the update again, if it still has the same symptom, run the troubleshooter once more.
If it still fails, let us know. Might have to hop into RE and revert pending actions.
Once this is resolved, hop into Command Prompt (CMD) as Admin and run the following:
Code
sfc /scannow && dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealthRE: Windows 10 update stuck at 78% - Mr.Magnificent - Aug 23, 2018
I'd say just wait it out. do what it says and don't restart/shutdown when it doesn't say you can.
2 of my co-workers fucked their PC up by restarting during updates.
