On a side note, I'm also diabetic, aged 57 years. In March 2021, got diagnosed with diabetes, where my HbA1C was 12.4 and post prandial glucose level was 504. Severely diabetic (Type 2), such that my wife got me admitted to a hospital for a week. After discharge, had to take three insulin injections per day. At that time, started a yoga regimen, daily for about 45 minutes, with yogic postures specifically targeted towards pancreas activation; and also strict diet control. Consulted with a diabetes clinic, who recommended some other medicines, and asked me to monitor my glucose levels daily. In three months, my HbA1C got reduced to 6.9, so the doctor stopped the insulin injections, and put me on oral medicine.
Now, I continue my daily yoga regimen, along with the doctor's medicine, and my HbA1C levels hover around 6.9 - 7.2. Sometimes, I eat some sweets served in functions like marriages, etc., so the diet control is not strictly as the dietician says.
As a fellow-diabetes-patient, I recommend a yoga regimen under a qualified instructor, along with regular oral medication, so as to eliminate the necessity of an insulin pump within about 3 months, or max 6 months.

So, glad to hear you get your glucose levels under control.
I'm glad yoga is working for you and your diabetes situation. I am going to stick with my gadget; for now, they seem so much more fun then exercise.

*I have Type 2 diabetes as well. Diagnosed about 14 years ago with an A1C of 8.7 and fasting BG of 220+. Drastically reduced my carb intake and added some moderate exercise to lose almost 90lbs (~40kg / 6.5 stone). A1C is now routinely ~6.2 with fasting BG of 130.

Weight loss is key - I was diagnosed as early type II diabetic. I crash-dieted down from 96kgs to 72kgs. It went away, and now I maintain my weight between 70 and 72kgs, with A1C between 5.4 and 5.9.
As you say, carbs are the killer, and the more refined they are, the worse they are. I now bake my own 100% whole wheat bread, leavened and unleavened, as pretty much my only carb. As a side note, it is also the lowest carbon footprint carb you can eat, with rice as the highest.

Some of you may know the gory details of how Windows goes about doing it's update thing. My new laptop has decided it wants 22H2. So, I'm working on the older laptop, and I told it to go ahead. 30 minutes later, it's been downloaded, but it's been sitting at 100% for the past 20 minutes. No CPU or network processing is going on.
So, is it doing some sort of integrity check? Just curious.

Microsoft seems to like to stick their progress bars at 99% or 100% for forever and a day, in my experience. It's probably summoning demons.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

Considering Microsoft's rigorous quality assurance, I am certain that their code causes nasal demons to appear even on ordinary computers, to say nothing of the DeathStation 9000.

Not a rant: I suggest YAAR.
Yet another almost rant.
Anyhow, this is superstition terrain, anyhow testing your stability and rationality to the utmost.
First advice: Don't keep looking at it, go do something else. I usually find that I have a chore left or need coffee.
Did it finish yet? Did you shake it a bit, stroke it with the mouse? Hit the control key a few times?
I generally take updates up front, which gives me a weird sense of control.
With the obvious weekly backup I feel like when I stow a small umbrella going when it's not even raining.
Will surely prevent rain from happening to me! (Does most of the time, too)
Cheers,
Jan

Interesting... so it just looks like the update gets confused or whatever. Most of the support comments were absolutely useless. However, if your update stalls, fire up services.msc and restart Windows Update. Seems to unplug the blockage.

I'm fairly certain at this point nobody even at Microsoft understands the process from start to finish.

Thank you for the warning ... as I have exactly the same message in my HP laptop tray reminding me about Windows 11 22H2 installation. No way that I will do that without preparation ... .

My personal suspicion is that they are spinning up a VM running a private copy of Minecraft, loaded with an 8-bit processor emulation that in turn is running a port of DOOM. An AI plays DOOM until defeated or the game ends. At that point, the update is completed.
Of course, this is considered a charming Easter egg.

I personally wrote some/parts of the Windows Update Agent API but it was a while back. The "Update Orchestrater" manages it.
"Windows Update" isn't a single service, "BITS" or "Delivery Optimization" do the download and "Update Orchestrater" (UsoSVC) does the management. I was on a team of two software engineers that wrote "Delivery Optimization" system service (DOSvc) and integrated it into Windows. I've actually spent most of my time on the WU/WSUS team.
Update Orchestrater is probably waiting. I'm no longer involved, but if I remember correctly it uses the Task Scheduling system to begin.
Update Orchestrater is to blame, ask them.

Interesting - I was thinking that way. As I said, one suggestion was to restart the service. Once I did, it immediately started installing. In the same thread out on answers.microsoft.com, below is appalling help from an "Independent Advisor". The only thing he did not say is "go buy a new computer." I see responses like this all the time out on answers. It makes me wonder if people like this get points or something. He surely did not type all of this but cut/paste.
Anyway - thanks for the description. It looks like some nugget of code missed the "go" signal after the download. Some people have waited 18 hours.
Quote: Hi Pulkit,
I'm Paul and I'm here to help you with your concern.
There must be something preventing the update to be finished.
Please try the following.
1. Run Troubleshooter
Open Settings => System => Troubleshoot => Other troubleshooters => Windows Update => Run.
2. Use Command Prompt commands.
=> Open Command prompt as Administrator.
=> Type/copy the commands below , enter 1 by 1.
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver
3. Use System File Checker to check and fix corrupted system files which may be the cause of the issue. Please refer to the link.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/402652...
4. Uninstall any 3rd-party Antivirus.
5. Update all device drivers and BIOS.
6. Disconnect the USB devices except for the mouse and keyboard.
7. Perform Clean Boot. Refer to this link.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/929135...
After doing the things listed above, try to reinstall the update.
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted.

Be careful about running some of those "Privacy" or "Disable Telemetry" powershell scripts/programs. They can break Windows Update and impact other parts of the operating system.
Glad to hear it worked out for you.

As an FYI unrelated to this thread, my hopefully last video on our ancient astronomy is complete. Our Forgotten History illuminates some of the probable creation steps of the Bible, based on Samson's celestial backbone.
The newest book version also opens up what the 'three paths' of the Babylonians were, which also opens up what Nibiru was.
