   If it is annoying you, try this.   
      
      [Admin window]   
      
       DISM /online /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions

   If you use the command prompt window in Troubleshooting from   
   a Windows 10 installer DVD, you can do this to stop an   
   update and this may allow access long enough to carry out   
   further actions (with network cable disconnected).   
      
      DISM /image:c:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions
