Today, that little yellow shield icon in the taskbar came up, After several hours is still only 10%?

Question

I need a way to fix it properly. If u find out please let me know, thanks!

Answer 1

The "Yellow Shield" is btw Microsoft Automatic updates, which is by default scheduled to update your WIndows at 3:00 am.

This utility downloads Hot fixes/Patches/updates that are necessary (not mandatory) fro windows. Why is it stuck at 10 %? well Either your Internet speed is too low or it hasn't been run for so many days that their is a huge list of updates to be downloaded.

If you do not want to see the shield you can either disable the icon or just disable the service in all.

to disable icon , go to control panel> security center> on right pane click on the option that says "change the way security center alerts me" and uncheck automatic updates.

to disable Automatic updates from dowloading

click on start>run> type

services.msc

find automatic updates

double click to open

stop service and then disable
