    Windows Update Stuck at Expanding Windows Files[18%]


    So I was trying to get the latest update on my Win 7 PC. My PC never would let me do a auto update or update with in the OS so I downloaded a copy of win 7 from Microsoft and burnt it onto a disk. Now I went to do that update an everything went well until after it did its first reboot. Once it started back up it has been sitting at 18% and says "Please Wait" and "Gathering additional information before exporting files" This had been going on for about an hour. Any help would be great.

    This problem, as well as a couple of other strange ones, went away after I had disabled "Intel(R) C-STATE Tech" in BIOS | Advanced | CPU Configuration.
