can Windows Update just go away? 

 

i just updated my Windows 8 VM on my MacBook and Windows Update bricked it. 

 

i ran updates, and got some kind of error. it then refused to restart so i reset the VM, after that it booted to a black screen and that was it, reset it again and now it's sitting at 'updating your system (1%)' and it is stuck. i know that becuase my host's cpu is idle. 

 

so yea that VM is dead.

    oh cool Time Machine backed up the virtual disk image before it updated. i can just restore the image and then try again in theory. trying it now. i hope it works.
