If necessary there is an extensive list of causes of (and solutions for) skipping at. However in my experience Windows Updates on Windows 10 do not tax the computer as much as they did on Windows Vista and 7. If you didn’t enter a key during the installation process, you can enter a Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 key right in this window when you’re asked to provide a Windows 10 key. See for things you can do to prevent “forced updates”. After you’ve installed Windows 10, head to Settings > Update & Security > Activation and you should see that your PC has a digital license. With reference to possible causes of skipping, note that by default, Windows 10 Updates download and install automatically. Thank you so much for the help! I’ll definitely take steps to avoid this issue in the future. Also, avoid shouting directly into the microphone.

To avoid this problem, set your recording level much lower - aim for a maximum peak level of about half the track height (about -6 dB). The other major problem is that your recording level is too high, causing the recording to be hideously distorted in many places. Automatic software updates are quite a common culprit. A common cause for this is running other applications at the same time, particularly applications that are either CPU intensive, or access the hard drive a lot.

It happens during recording when some part of the computer system is struggling to keep up with the data being recorded. The 'talking into a fan'effect is what we call “skipping”.
