Barely anything in the WinX Menu works!

All of mine are working. Update was a breeze, less than 25 minutes. I have the watermark, and nothing else has jumped out as a problem. Everything is really quick and snappy. Liking it so far, waiting for the other shoe to drop...

Mine stuck at 2% for about an hour

Attachment 222927
EDIT:
I have rebooted and it's started moving, fingers crossed

When I check my desktop this morning it was stuck at 2% after starting over 4 hours earlier. The strange thing is that I had Windows Insider turned off in settings because I had the slow programs starting problem. I deleted all the folders/files in C:/Windows/SoftwareDistribution/Downloads and used a ISO made with UUPDownloader. It took 49 minutes to update. That doesn't include making the ISO. For some reason updating my new desktop is taking longer to install. My old desktop was even worse. I'm thinking it has to be a program that is running in the background.

IT WORKED!!!

Tried to update using WU several times, and nothing happened during reboot phase.

Next I tried PSWindowsUpdate and again nothing happened during reboot phase.

Then I just went back to WU and hit reboot. Got GSOD.

Once back on desktop, I hit reboot again and this time it started to configure the update and returned 20-30 minutes later to updated desktop.

What a headache this one was.

You got lucky, Slice! I never got rid of the GSODs; they just kept coming . . . even when I tried a reset and after that, a clean install of 18323 so I could get 18329. I don't know what to do next, but it's not gonna be easy, I'm sure.

Get the iso from Marty, and clean install 18329.1 directly. That could get you out of the GSOD business.

Installing on my Dell XPS 2720 right now, seems to be going well. Have had to retire the Dell Venue Pro 11 from active service in Insider Testing. Am trying the older, but still capable, Thinkpad X220 Tablet now ...

I left him a PM early this morning, but I'm guessing he's at work, so I may have to wait until this evening. I'm hoping that will work, but until I try it, I won't know.

Good luck. Hope it all goes well.

Went my usual direct upgrade route on top of 18323 (about ~20 minutes for the offline installation portion) through Windows Update, again--and so far initial impressions are that this build is so much better than 18323 it defies description! What a difference. Games and applications, especially Crossfire and D3d12 multi-GPU games (like Shadow of the Tomb Raider) are running exceptionally well! Almost perfectly--especially in comparison with 18323--worst build I've seen in a long while. Hope I don't soon regret these words...

Has anyone had this problem... update downloads, installs, but upon restarting for the first time it hangs for @5 minutes, then I get .. "Windows is undoing any changes made to your computer", then reboots to 18323.
I've gone through the process 3 times but to no avail. Any ideas anyone?

Yea here.

OK, so Night Light is clearly working for some, just as it wasn't working for some with 18323 when the problem was supposedly resolved. It's very strange how there isn't consistency with this, but I guess it's down to the vast array of video cards, drivers, and maybe monitors.

On the upside, no more of the weird pink coloration here apparently caused by whatever fix they put into 18323 (it would happen when Night Light activated and wasn't cleared until reboot).
