I bought a used machine on ebay. It came yesterday and as I opened the cover, it started asking questions – “the progressive” I will call it.

At the end of the progressive, it said it was going to download some updates after it rebooted.
During the progressive I was only given the option to run WiFi, so that’s what it used to download what turned out to be a very large update. That was unfortunate, because this laptop has an Ethernet port, and I have the infrastructure to connect it.

The update turned out to be 21H2 -> 22H2. I didn’t check if the updates were done when it was time to go to bed. I assumed they were. I turned off the machine and retired for the evening.

When I turned it on again this morning, Windows Update said it had completed the Update – 100%, but that line was grayed out.

The remaining programs were grayed out stating they were waiting for the main update to complete.

I would like help to get everything running.

Another option would be to reset everything and start over. Actually that looks like the shortest option at the moment.

And is tempting, but I will wait for your input before proceeding.

Thanks,
