Why won't my computer finish this update?

My computer has been trying and failing repeatedly to install this one update. Every time I go to shut it down it sits there for five minutes trying to do the update before it just turns itself off. I don't know exactly what to do about it. Never had this problem before.

    go into windows update and remove this update from the list. I am having the same problem for a few weeks and even as a computer nerd I can't get around it. This is probably Microsoft's fault. they should release a new update that will properly install the current shortly.

    Edit: Well that was fast. Windows already released a replacement update. If you are running windows 7 64-bit, the update will be KB2533552. If you aren't, sift though the available updates and find the one that says it must be installed before other updates. Check this one only and then press ok and then install.

    It would help if you can indicate what update it is exactly. If it's for your Windows operating system, every now and then you might need to download and install one manually instead.
