Feature update to Windows 10, version 20H2 not downloading.

A Windows 10 iso can be created on any working computer.
Downloads and or upgrades / updates can be performed overnight.

As it is a Mounted ISO, you should have just run the setup.exe.

That's what I did. I mounted the ISO and double-clicked setup.exe. The first question it asked me upon opening it was whether I wanted to check for updates, and I selected the option to do so. For some reason, it's taking a long time to check for updates. It's up to 33% now.

If I were you, I would not have selected the option to check for updates so as not to complicate matters.

It finally finished. It's now on the "Ready to Install" screen. Should I proceed?

Yes, proceed.

I put a lot of work into customizing Windows and installing programs. I don't want to lose that.

Customization and installation can be done by scripts automatically.

Well? It should be done by now.

It's now done. I'm not sure whether it installed properly, though. Immediately after the update finished and I was able to log into Windows again, I tried to create a backup using Macrium, which gave me the bizarre error message "Failed - 0x8000ffff - Catastrophic failure - Retrying without VSS Writers". Does this mean there's something wrong with this installation of Windows now?

EDIT: I tried again, but this time Macrium didn't give me any error messages. Is there still reason for concern?

Press the Windows key + R and run 👉 ms-settings:windowsupdate-action
