Updated 4 manufactured computers (Acer x3, ASUS) and my own custom build today. 5/5 no issues.

Touch wood no problems here on four machines.

I had some issues with the update. First, the download process took a long while to finish. Then during installation it took while before a percentage appeared. Lastly when it got to around 30% my computer rebooted, but something when wrong and it didn't reboot correctly.

I had to force a shutdown and turn on my computer. This time the update continued after the 30% and finally finished.

I wonder why some users didn't have problems, like me, but others definitely have.

I wonder the same too. The issues I had were relatively minor, but some seem to report even bigger issues. I'm curious if the people that get those issues usually use some sort of software that disable telemetry and other services due to privacy, perhaps those software are messing with the way Windows 10 is updating.

Though the only way to know is if the people that get those issues also report whether they mess with the OS or not.

The problems are not caused by telemetry being disabled. It's not any software interfering with with the update itself.

The problems appear to be caused by the cumulative updates over-writing the previous cumulative update and coding errors within the updates themselves.

For whatever reason(s), the update process for cumulative updates is not very clean and efficient. Things are getting messed up during the process all by itself.

For some reason, my Windows Update is so quiet at all and those issues that I have encounter never occurred on my system.

Sometimes having in a different region is lucky because updates are not massive distributed immediately.

So far so good and I have disabled almost all of the spying too.

I thought I escaped the wrath, until I found out that Norton Family protection was silently disabled on my daughter's computer.
