Win8.1 x64 - Stuck at Installing KB3172614 for last 3 hours

[ReyKenobi]

Update is stuck at this stage for the last 3 hours.

Before this, it successfully installed .NET framework 4.6.2, after which it asked me to reboot and continue. After reboot I started the Updater again and it is stuck at above stage ever since.

Please advice how to proceed. Thanks.

Cancel by closing wsusou. Then set Windows Update to "Never search for updates", reboot and try again. This should fix it.

Yes sir, that solved it! Tyvm!

After successfully installing KB3172614, in the next cycle it tells me that a couple of updates are missing but is currently going ahead with installing some other updates. I'm gonna let it do its thing and report back incase of a problem.

Thanks again!
