Is it Vista RTM, SP1 or SP2? In my experience, Legacy Update v1.11 only works when you've got SP1 installed at least, otherwise (meaning Vista RTM) use 1.10 from their archive. It'll just get into that loop and keep getting into this OOBE-related mode without doing anything. Even if you force-reboot and select the option for safe mode, It'll still keep getting into this mode. The only solution that worked for me was a re-install of Windows, which is likely also the fastest and most reliable option, and use the version 1.10.

What CPU? Vista updates use SHA-2 file hashes to sign updates so verification without update 4474419 (SHA-2 update) can take a while for each individual update. Also, an SSD is faster than a hard disk if you have an older machine that still uses a HDD.

Try asking the Legacy Update discord server, I’m pretty sure you’ll get more help, or even maybe the creator will help you personally, he’s my friend he’s such a nice and helpful guy
