But sometimes, even with the correct hardware, the updating may get stuck on the “Preparing to configure” screen. If you have a conventional hard drive on your computer, you can expect to wait much longer, up to an hour or more.

These normal conditions are contingent on your computer having the requirements like having enough storage, fan speed, and having a solid-state drive or SSD. Normally, the updating process doesn’t take all that long 20 to 30 minutes at most under normal conditions or shorter if the update size is small. This typically happens when the computer is installing an update. One of the more common issues you may experience while updating your Windows 11 computer is when it gets stuck while it’s preparing Windows or seeing the Getting ready message.
