What's the exact version of Windows you are on?

In the taskbar search box, type: winver and post a screen shot of the window that opens.



Mine looks like this....

Well my internet is OK (76Mb/s) and it's a fairly powerful dual processor machine, albeit built with old hardware. It's also running on SSDs.
I cannot imagine why an update should get to three quarters of the way through its final process, suddenly apparently stop dead for half an hour, and then carry on! I wasn't actually doing anything with the machine during that pause, and no programs were running apart from those that are always running.
Very odd indeed, but yes, the next time it happens I will find something else to do rather than just watching it!

The gauge for DL and update process is wildly inaccurate. So many times it would stop progress at some percentage and than just jump to much higher. Download also stops for some periods of time while waiting to find and download more. Same while doing the actual update, never downloads everything at once. That all started with UUP but that also makes download smaller and presumably faster.

My internet for instance is at max 20mbps, very often at time of updates (7PM locally) less than 10mbps and when an update takes all or most bandwidth, all internet access practically stops or crawls.

Mike,

You can often get a better internet response by running large downloads while the Yanks are asleep.

Yes, some times I leave it till morning if internet is too slow but I'm still limited by relatively slow internet. Hoping to get fiber optic cable soon.

I certainly agree with that, the only thing I can say about it is that at least the Windows 10 update progress indicator is better than the update progress indicator on Windows 8.1, which in my experience was completely and utterly useless, sometimes hanging on 0% for ages and then suddenly jumping to 90%!
I've seen the Windows 10 progress indicator stick many times too, and then suddenly jump up by a huge amount, but strangely this 74% hang doesn't seem to behave like that. It sticks on 74% for, in my case, some thirty minutes, and then just goes up to 75%!
It then progresses apparently normally, with no large jumps, until it completes.

Also sits at 100% while it's still downloading for few minutes. DL also usually stops at 7-8% while doing nothing worthwhile.

Mine stalled at 22% for an extended period. They have been investigating pauses like this in the insider channels but obviously they haven't tracked down the cause yet.
