I ran into what may be the same issue last night on my home machine. It hadn't
rebooted after applying the 10/14 patches, and didn't wait an hour I guess, I
finally surrendered and forced it to reboot and went back to a system restore
point. After several iterations I found the offending patch and have
temporarily hidden it. It was flagged as recommended, but I don't recall the
number. All the critical and important level ones were fine. If the Java
thing mentioned by Jim doesn't turn out to be the issue I'll dig up the number
tonight.

Subject: [NTSysADM] Windows 8 re-boots very long after latest Microsoft updates.
I have a few W8.1 systems that now take about 1 hour to re-boot just sitting at
the "Please Wait" screen.
Did some Googling did not get really any results, nothing in the event viewers.
Tried to do a System Restore it failed. I tried to turn off the Hibernation
file, still no go.
Probably going to open a ticket with Microsoft but figured maybe some of you
have any ideas?
Thanks
Stefan
