 * I want to update the wordpress site on my laptop (XAMPP) to the latest. So, I
   clicked on the [Update WordPress] button in the admin panel.
    What I get is this
 *     ```
       Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.7.1-no-content.zip…
   
       Unpacking the update…
       ```
   
 * And that’s it. It appears to stall in the “unbpacking”.
 * However the “no-content” part of the download name is suspicious.
    Also browser
   tab is displaying “Waiting for localhost”.
 * Does anyone know what is going on here?

 * try manually re-uploading all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file
   and the /wp-content/ directory from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure 
   that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.
   Read the [Manual Update ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update)
   directions first!
    – **Always backup everything (including your database) before
   doing any actions, just in case.**
