Updating to 10049 has become slower and for no apparent reason.
I am currently struggling to get 10049 installed here:
I first upgraded to 10049 on March 30th, the download took about 20 minutes.
The install became stuck at 3% for over 25-30 minutes or so, then it continued.
The process went smoothly and in less than 3 hours 10049 was successfully up and running.
But yesterday i decided to reinstall everything from scratch, so that i could create a second partition for backups.
I installed all the patches for 10041, ran Disk Cleanup just to get rid of any junk files left by Windows Update.
I switched to the Fast ring and tried to upgrade to 10049.
The download once again took 15 to 20 minutes, then the PC was restarted.
This time, it got stuck at 2% for almost 2 hours, and it took nearly 6 hours to complete de installation.
I noticed the HDD had little to no activity during the process (i went to sleep and left the computer doing its thing).
The install was finally done, but the OS suddenly became buggy and unstable.
- Spartan wouldn't open.
- Two folders named "Korea Media Player Center" and "Korea Messenger Center" appeared on the desktop.
- There was a very high RAM usage by the SVCHOST process.
When i did the upgrade for the first time, on March 30th, none of these problems appeared, it all went extremely well.
But this second attempt went terribly wrong.
What could have caused the upgrade to become slower?
Also, pardon me for my bad english.
