TRYING TO MANUALLY RUN WINDOWS UPDATE IN WINDOWS 7 AND ERROR:
Q: I ran Windows Update from the Modern UI, wasn't sure if it was downloading the patches, so clicked "Install Updates" again. Got an error indicating there was an install already in progress..... I looked all around the screen but couldn't locate any sign that updates were being downloaded or installed. Where is the progress indicator?
