Question

Windows 10 reset stuck on 99%.

May 31, 2016 11:31AM PDT

I have had a few problems with my Windows 10 in recent weeks. All have been solved with the help of the moderators. Thank you.
The recent situation is that I am resetting Windows 10 from a recovery flash drive.
It went very well up to the time it got to 99% of the process . Now it is stuck at that for over four hours. The PC is buzzing away blithely and my patience is not very good !
Is it normal or acceptable ?
