Why is my computer stuck on preparing to configure Windows?
The “Preparing to Configure Windows” appears stuck or appears for too long on Windows 7 and 10 at times when there are new updates to be installed or when a user is reinstalling or doing a clean install of Windows. The issue is usually caused by corrupt update files or when the integrity of files has been modified.
