Windows 10: How long for feature update to Windows 10 version 1709 install

Woa, it finally finished around 11:20pm, but what is crazy is the SSD was 77GB free space before the update and after the update it has dropped to 62GB of free space. I guess I need to find and delete the old install now?

 

I just turned my laptop on this morn at 10.30am UK time. And it popped up that there was an update, it is the FALL UPDATE 1709 so i downloaded it which took literally only 5 minutes at most. And now i have just clicked the install now, so we will see how long it will take, been sat 3 minutes and its on 5% preparing install. So looking ok so far. Pretty quick for a Samsung NP700Z5C-AO2UK. Intel i5-3210M 8GB Ram. 1TB harddrive. 16Gb M.2 cache SSD.

 

Time will depend on a number of factors - including how much data you have on your hard disk. My installs took from between 2 hours to 3 hours from start to finish.

 

Yeh, mine was going good, but now its crawled to a slow pace, been on an hour preparing to install and its at 64%

 

Well the while upgrade took about eight hours. I hope it was worth it and I must thank the respondents to this thread for their comments.

 

I think mine only took a few hours. Lost a lot of space but I know I can get that back. The OS seems to be running much better though and I already had a update and it was faster than I have ever seen. I wonder if 1709 improves upon the updates.

I might even install this back on my main machine if I can ever break that Linux install which seems unlikely so far.

 

A little concerned. I set mine to update last night, downloaded in the background. Don't know how long it took, wasn't paying attention. Shut down, left it to update. Booted it up today, just had a black screen with a loading wheel going for an hour. Is this normal...?

 

I don't understand, if you shut it down how did you expect it to continue updating? A black screen that long is not normal. Try rebooting a few times and see if you can get the advanced startup repair screen to kick in.

 

-Checked for updates, saw there was one and downloaded it in the background.
-When I shut down I had the option to "Update and Shut Down" which I took.
-When I rebooted the next day it said something about updating then went to a black screen with a loading wheel, now for about 90 minutes.

Thanks for the reply though, I'll try rebooting and hope this doesn't require an OS reinstall.

 

Just powered mine up to see the feature update available, finished the preparing to install then got to 65% downloaded then said there was an error and it will try later.. now says my PC is up to date....





Tried a reboot, ran disk cleanup and removed the Windows temp intsall files/folder, and did a check for updates and it still says up to date.....

Any ideas? seems strange it got to 65% downloaded then failed... twice by the looks of things...

 

Hi Stuart.

Lets see what version build you are on.

Windows key + R, type winver, enter. Post Version and OS build number please.

LOLcaster how did reboot go. I agree an hour is not normal but this update is big and some people have reported it taken hours, granted not on a black screen with rolling dots.

 

Hi


These are the details ...





So it has not updated, just checked again and it states I am up to date...

It came up earlier that there was a problem and it will try again later...

 

My desktop ran for about 90 minutes doing the download last night. I left it alone and went to bed. got up this morning to see it at the logon screen. Logged in, and I'm still on the Creators Update. I don't see any failed installs. I checked for new updates and it seemed to start the download again. I just shut down the computer as I had to leave for work.

 

I have an AMD FX8370 BE and the setup ran 5 1/2 hours. After reboot, the installation took 2 1/2 hours.

 

Stuart, I think at this point I would run the Windows Update reset.

Reset Windows Update in Windows 10

Then before proceeding I would ensure my data was backed up.

Then run setup from a USB key created with the media creation tool.
