Yes, all previous updates were done. It finally finished though and all installed OK
Perhaps my ISP was having a bad day! I should have performed a speed test at the time of downloading the updates .. it may have shown I was restricted, possibly due to line issues (common in my part of the country)
Must admit I didn't think ANY country had slower ADSL speeds that South Africa! My Dad in the UK has a BT 8 Mbps connection, and never complains about MS updates taking a long time. But then again, he's 95 years old, so he probably wouldn't notice!

Running Winver command shows I am no on OS Build 10856.29

Good to hear you got it in the end
How long did the download take?

Many places in the UK outside the big towns/cities have poor broadband, its just one of the sacrifices of living in a rural area (although they are improving that now)

I feel your pain though on the slowness, with more and more things being online, big tech firm just seem to assume everyone has unlimited super fast fibre

I normally go and make a coffee by the time I get back all done ready for me to restart or put password in.

Things looking good so far nothing broken this time lol.
