    if a Microsoft update takes more than six hours to complete is it corrupted?

    What should I do if my computer has been at "installing 22 of 24 updates" for more 6 hours?

    First you should always be checking manually what updates are to be
    down loaded. It is best to have all updates added manually for this reason. With 24 updates some could be conflicting updates or
    updates you really don't need because you don't have a certain program that is calling for an update.
    When you have these many updates happening at once they can
    bog down your computer. I have had three updates get stuck where they won't finish updating.
    Try using task manager to end the updating task or just turn off your computer by pushing and holding the button u push
    to start the computer. sometimes this will take several attempts
    to get the updates to stop. Then turn off automatic up dates and go into microsoft updates manually thru Internet explorer see if you can access your history of updates to see if you can
    find what has been downloaded recently. Then click on updates and see what shows up. uncheck any update that is for a program
    you do not have on your computer. Try this and see what happens
    I have never had a Microsoft update take more than a few minutes. I would begin to wonder what was going on long before 30 minutes went by. Perhaps you should contact Microsoft about this.
