Windows 10 client tends to get stuck sometimes. We have noticed that the client getting stuck can result:
- Mouse pointer keep rolling the loading indicator without cease.
- The updates get stuck in pending state in Windows update client.
- Windows is reporting that some important security updates are missing.
- Update related processes can reserve high amounts of resources.
