Hello:

Did anyone else's computer hang on update KB3001652?  After 4 hours, I hit the power button, only to have it come back to the same update?

Yes.  Several dozen users have reported the issue.  Completely power off.  When you power on choose Restart Normally and wait while any successful updates finish installing and the registry updates (won't take long).  When you are back on the desktop start Windows Update.  You will see Important Updates Available.  Click the link to view the updates and uncheck the Visual Studio update.  Finish installing the remaining updates and restart.  When back on the desktop again repeat the process with Windows Update (the checkmark next to the VS update returns every time you run WU).  Once no more important updates except the VS update show, you are done.  Wait for Microsoft to fix the issue before installing the
