Hi All, Just noticed this tonite, my laptop with the Roboform info was stuck at this message for a very long time; couldn't login to CH just to ask why this is happening since the laptop was stuck. A google search on a diff laptop showed this has been happening for a very long time! I was afraid to turn off the laptop due to the warning that it turns out is bogus. Doing a search with my other laptop brought up issues with this statement dating back to 2013
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/win ... 301?page=2 and none of those showed any solution. Only found 1 Utube that talked about making changes in Control Panel/Maintenance on a statement that I didn't have on my laptop that was hung up, so it didn't matter.
Is this part of a Windows Update that likely was stalling my laptop and is this the normal message from MS when an update is installing? Nothing was mentioned about an 'update' just Windows is getting ready, very frustrating. I see that the latest Windows Update on Patch Tuesday the 13th isn't far in the past and I believe my laptop was updating Windows yesterday or the day before, can't remember but I saw the 'Update and Restart' on my computer when I went to restart, otherwise there was NO way to know an update was even happening in the background. But this message Getting Windows Ready didn't happen until tonight. I was unable to use my computer during this time because I tried changing my background image to a diff Microsoft approved image and my computer locked up. I finally did restart and that's when this Getting Windows Ready message came up following the reboot.
Does anyone know why this message is still the same message that came up since 2013, with no reference to an update being done in the background and its imperative to not shut down that the update will be completed soon? Also, one poster from 2017 was still experiencing this lockup to the statement "Getting Windows Ready

Thanks for any help from anyone!! I just have a feeling this isn't the last time this will happen and I'd like to be ready this next time. katy
