Found a workaround to the painfully slow upgrade to 10049.
Many people, including myself, have been facing a problem when upgrading to the latest Windows 10 build, 10049.
There is a bug in which the install program downloads all available language packs when it is running.
Upon reboot, on the "circle with percentage" screen, the OS installs all the downloaded language packs, resulting in a very very very long upgrade process which can take 20+ hours in some cases.
I have read this in a forum comment (cannot remember what forum exactly)
Thank you comment poster anyway.
And decided to test.
It Works!!!!
Upgrade from build 9926 directly to 10049.
For some reason, in this scenario, the setup program does not try to download the unnecessary language packs, and runs as normal.
The total install time in this case shrinks to about 3 hours or less.
I know this doesn't sound very practical, but is the only workaround i found.
Mine took less than one hour!
Hope this helps.
