About this scene

Fake Windows Update ScreenWindows Update

The Windows 10 “Configuring Windows updates” screen, recreated down to the spinner and the “Don’t turn off your computer” line, with a percentage that stalls forever. It is the classic harmless update prank: go fullscreen on someone’s PC and let them stare at a progress number that never moves on.

What you can do with it

  • A harmless “it’s stuck updating” desk prank
  • A believable Windows holding screen for videos and sketches
  • A filler “please wait” screen for streams

How to use Windows Update

Open Customize to set the colours, title and behaviour, then press Fullscreen (or add ?present=1 to the URL) for a clean, controls-free screen. To run it unattended on a stream, copy the OBS browser-source URL; to drop it into a web page, use the <iframe> embed. Everything is a visual prop — no real hacking, network or data.

Will it install or change anything?

No — it changes nothing. It is a full-screen picture of the Windows update screen with an animated percentage. Press Escape (or leave fullscreen) to exit.

Can I make it look like Windows 11 or a Mac instead?

Yes. In Customize, switch the update style between Windows 10, Windows 11 and macOS.
