I'm getting nowhere fast, still on getting ready, darn slow internet.

Don’t feel bad, Count- one of my computers has been reverted to slow ring - was on skip ahead. Now it won’t go back to skip ahead. And, as usual, two of them have failed right away. So I’m spinning my wheels on retries and resetting my rings.

All updated, pretty quick install.

Phew, I have escaped the bullet! My stuck system has jumped the failing 282 update and decided to try the 290. And it worked

.

Don't really know what happened but this morning I wasn't hopeful as I thought it would keep trying the failing version and it did. Then I got on the search AGAIN and this time added the failing ntdll.dll component. Saw an answer to someone with a win 7 or 8 problem with this component and was told to re-register ntdll.dll plus a few others.

So I registered ntdll.ll with regsvr32 and then soon after I saw the update was downloading 290!!!

Not sure whether the register had anything to do with it but I am now a much happier Insider.

Hopefully back to my smooth ride with these updates.

Went through several bounces also. Finally, got fed up and just rebooted after deleting the contents from the Software Distribution Windows Directory and it finally went through without any further drama. Now on 18290.1000.

No bounces here - went pretty quickly and smoothly.

Gave up using WU. Now trying with an iso from uupdownloader.

Not bad for me 2 1/2hrs including a troubleshoot WU sat on 99% downloading for 15 mins.

running Malwarebytes (trial) so that bug seems to have been cleared.

Just under the hour to desktop here. One of the fastest I've had. No immediate problems. I have both Malwarebytes premium and Vipre AV running, with periodic scans by Windows Defender.
