Reason:

Sometimes Windows Defender, Windows Firewall and Windows Permissions/Rights block the installation of Print Shop 23.1 that’s why the installation stuck at the end where it updates the system.

There is no any concern of this updating system with Print shop 23.1 installation. The Print Shop 23.1 will work fine. 

Solution:

When installing the Print Shop 23.1, you may receive a message that says " Updating System, please wait…"

  1. Open C: Drive.

  2. Click on Program Files (x86).

  3. Copy the folder The Print Shop 23.1 and paste it in other drive/partition like C drive before the installer exits and          Create a shortcut on the desktop for this file.
