What should I do if the installation gets stuck at 85%?
Hello everyone, my laptop's Windows system installation is stuck at 85% and cannot continue. It has been unresponsive for a long time. I need your help.
Save your work: If you're in the middle of anything important, save your work immediately.
Disconnect from the internet: To avoid any potential corruption, disconnect your laptop from the internet.
Power off your laptop: Shut down your laptop completely. If it's stuck in a boot loop, you might have to force the shutdown.
Sounds like the installation is stuck! Try these steps:
- Restart your laptop and boot into Safe Mode (press F8 or Shift+F8 during startup).
- If it’s still stuck, use a Windows installation USB to repair the system. You can create one using the Media Creation Tool.
- Once booted from the USB, select "Repair your computer" > Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Repair.
If that doesn't work, you might need to wipe the drive and reinstall Windows. But try the repair steps first!
