I no longer want to deal with WU when downloading and installing a build, for quite some time now what I do is download the UUP files and create the ISO in about 5 minutes.

I have the slowdown happen before the stage where I can make the ISO. I forget what build it was when I started having this problem.

The Gen2 Hyper-V did finally complete successfully. It was a bit slow to complete but then again I was also updating Siduction, Debian Sid (w experimental repo), Fedora and Devuan. When I got around to my Gen 1 Windows 10 VM it was ready to reboot into Build 17040. Now on to my VMware VMs in Windows Server 2016 and then VirtualBox in Debian Sid. Everything at the moment is smooth as silk.

As I have said on other occasions, I use this tool to download the UUP files directly from the Microsoft servers, test it and you will see how easy and fast it is.

Installed 17040 last night and made the ISO. All seemed to go fine except Windows.old and Windows.old1 were left after disk cleanup. Only 2 files are still in those folders and I'll deal with them tomorrow.

Updating to Build 17040 my first computer went smoothly but my second computer [with Build 17025 not being used for a few weeks] has decided it needs Build 17035 before it will try for Build 17040.

Yes, it is a genius, the time that has saved me since I knew about the existence of that tool is invaluable, all credits to mkuba50.

I am in Windows Server 2016 and updating a Windows 10 Build 17040. Ran into the HTLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Account problem which was fixed exactly as advertised. The developer should not have mentioned 17037 and I'm sure won't do that again

Perhaps, I went from 17025 to 17040 without issue. (AMD cpu)
