My/our slowest portable took a bit over 30 minutes though probably not as much as 45 minutes, though the download and preparation background task was not at all rapid.
None of them had any real problems other than having to restart a number of services.
Mine’s tried it 3 times today and not succeeded in completing. After the restart it all opens as per, but the File Explorer icon in the Taskbar is underlined and hovering over it gives a Microsoft Account ( Not responding ) thumbnail window.:(
Hit Winver and it shows it’s still on 1709 (16299.371 ).
X220 won’t have it, keeps failing. Bored after 2 hours of ‘fun’. I’ll try again tomorrow, maybe. MIght just nuke it and do a fresh install with the latest version.
Done two X220s PM – all OK. Nuke is never a bad thing….in fact its a good thing….got to do it ont he PC my youngest has his piano (MIDI) hooked up to….as it won’t update (for a few months)……got to remember where all the disks and licences are for the music software. Then one of those cheap SSDs is going in.
After two days of frustration tweaking various settings I gave up and ‘refreshed’ Windows. Luckily I use VMs so the impact is minimal.
I never managed to figure out what was causing the issue but I suspect the Asus mobo AI as that was an area I forgot to tweak. The Asus utility had some fairly low level drivers and a Bios utility so maybe it is the main candidate for suspicions.
I did two today without too many issues except a couple of forced power cycling issues. I have come to the conclusion that the update goes in at bios level so if you have programs such as bios updaters etc then it may well pay to remove them first. It also does not like Fences 3 unless it has been updated.
Just had another go, after typing regsvr32 wups2.dll /s into an admin powershell session, rebooted, check for updates, all went well. Took about an hour and a half, it rebooted about 4 times to my knowledge, could have been a lot more.
If you count the down loading and the initial installing it does take a longish time. If you start the timing from the ‘do it now’ stage three machines took up to 30 minutes and the slowest one took about 40 minutes and yes, three or four reboots happened with all of my machines.
I updated both of mine today, the startup seems to have gone really slow? a little like the old days. I loved Windows 10 statup as it was fast, not so much now.
