Windows Phone 8 Stuck on Preparing to Install 100%

Here is a quick tip for those of you with Windows Phone 8 handsets that receive major software updates.

During the process of preparation you may see that your device sits on part of the update saying:

Preparing to Install 100%

Apparently, this is normal and all you have to do is wait between ten to thirty minutes until the option to proceed with the installation is actually presented to you. There is no need to reboot or reset your phone – just leave it to do it’s thing and you should be fine.

My name is Boyd and I’m a Service Management Specialist with a knack for operational data gathering, transformation, analysis and reporting.

In 2012, I obtained my Masters of Science in Information Technology through the University of New South Wales @ The Australia Defence Force Academy (UNSW@ADFA).

I was also part of an online community known as the Panasonic Insider Crew in the capacity of “Insider Guru” for Panasonic Australia where I interacted with other tech enthusiasts and find out more about Panasonic's latest gadgets.

I love technology, gadgets, and the Internet and maintain a keen interest in these areas locally, nationally, and globally. I hope by sharing my views on these topics that people will receive an honest point of view from someone with a genuine interest in these topics.

I have also written and edited articles for Neowin - you can check out my articles over @ https://www.neowin.net/news/poster/boyd_chan
