Windows Insider Update freezes on "Working on Updates" after reboot
Hey there, I'm not sure if there's an extra section for Insider stuff, so I'll post it here.
Anyway, my problem is that for the past week I've been trying to get the 19H1 Insider Fast Ring update to work, but when my PC reboots to install the update and gets to the "Working on Updates" screen, it always freezes at around 15%.
I've tried deleting the downloaded update files, resetting Windows Update, running the troubleshooter, which at some point did find a registry issue but still changed nothing and now I've gone ahead and did a complete clean install of Windows, but the problem still persists. On the hardware side, I've tried different RAM configurations, unplugging drives and trying different USB ports (for peripherals). So I'm at a complete loss here and this is basically my last resort.
I haven't seen this issue documented pretty much anywhere else or it got solved by a reinstall (which didn't help me). I'm thinking (hoping) this is maybe an issue with the update itself because there have been issues with people installing updates and specifically Insider builds before.
And I really don't know anywhere else to go but here, as MS Support never helped to solve any problem for me.
