Cumulative Update KB3189866 Windows 10 build 14393.187

Would it be worth doing a poll to find out how long the post-update boot configuration takes?

I am sure that even 2 minutes to get into Windows on an SSD is frustrating. On a HDD, 5 to 15 minutes also seems to be too much, when you are used to a one minute or so boot time.

I have hated this extended boot time after updates ever since it arrived with Windows 7? It was quite snappy with many earlier Cumulative Updates, but this seems to be creeping back to annoying times.

A word to Microsoft - When folk start up their PC, they do not want to wait some extended, unspecified time before they can start to do stuff.

Scenario: you are on the phone and want to check something from your PC, and you boot it up and wait.... and wait.

It's not good.

That's where an iPad/tablet comes in very handy. :)

As I commented earlier in thread I can't understand why MS must bundle all these updates together in 'Patch Tuesday', why not just distribute them gradually throughout the month?

Don't understand, my SSD boot system takes less than 10 seconds to boot up into Win 10 where I can start using it, about 5 seconds to shut down. I have approximately 100+ apps installed.

Now Win 7 on the same system ( I have dual boot HDs), takes about 10 - 15 minutes too boot!!!

...Or Windows XP with no updates ever again :), or Linux, but the thing is not Patch Tuesday, so much as the stupid bootup then configuring updates fiasco.

By all means configure the updates on shutdown - with a reboot cycle if needed and then the shutdown, but do not delay the Boot time when what users want is a working system when they start up.

You'll have to read the posts to understand the comments, Bob.

My download has finally reached 95% and hung up again. I have to be a gluten for punishment.

How do you download it manually?

I'm running into this problem so I think I have to do it manually...

The error code 0x8E5E03FA shown in your screen shot has a long history pre-dating Windows 10. This thread may help, the post marked as 'Answer' refers back to an earlier Win7 thread.
