Hello,
Since yesterday, my computer has been displaying a message saying that I need to restart it to install updates. I keep postponing this message until I decide to turn it off to go to bed. The problem is that the update took a very long time last night; I planned to turn off my PC at 11 PM and by midnight it was still updating. I made the bad decision to turn off the computer, and the next day I was surprised by the startup repair. There wasn't any particular problem; the computer restarted after about half an hour, and I was able to use it without any issues, but I was still pretty freaked out. Now again, the computer needs to install updates, and I don’t want to make the same mistake as yesterday, so I was wondering if it’s possible to close the "lid" of the computer while it installs the updates and shuts down? And sorry for this veeeeery long message.

Good evening

Indeed, never stop Windows when it's updating; I’ve experienced it and was able to fix the computer without any issues

At worst, you can do them one by one

The PC will be able to handle that many reboots? ;-D

It's better to do them one by one to see which one is blocking.
