Windows 10: Searching for updates takes very long

Hi,

Since today manually searching for updates takes unusually long. Is something wrong with the microsoft servers at the moment? Anyone else have that problem?

Was planning to set up my laptop today but I will wait a bit if the update servers are wonky right now.

Windows Updates Takes a VERY Long Time

The latest Windows updates are taking more than 15 hours. I need to use the computer and so I held down the on/off button for 10 seconds. Then, the computer message stated, it was reversing the update and going back to the old version. Why does it take
so long for these latest updates? Is there a way to have the updates run any faster? How can I be sure my computer has been updated?

 

Windows Updates Takes a VERY Long Time

What OS Build Version is installed?



Select the keyboard shortcut Win+S and type
About your PC. Click the Best Match at the top of the dropdown menu to get the requested information.

You do not identify the update failing to install?

Please provide more information so that the cause of your problem may be diagnosed.



Please restart your computer and allow 20 minutes for the system to run before uploading information required to help me investigate your problem. When examining Event Viewer log files many, not all, problems show in the period immediately after
the computer has been booted.



Please provide a copy of your System Information file. To access your System Information file select the keyboard shortcut
Win+R, type msinfo32
and click OK . Place the cursor on
System Summary. Select File, Export and give the file a name noting where it is located. Click Save.
Files in the txt file format are preferred.Do not place the cursor within the body of the report before exporting the file.The system creates
a new System Information file each time system information is accessed. You need to allow a minute or two for the file to be fully populated before exporting a copy. Please upload the file to your OneDrive, share with everyone and post a link here. If the
report is in a language other than English, please state the language.



Please upload to your OneDrive and share with everyone a copy of your
System log file from your Event Viewer and post a link here. Please remove any earlier copies of the logs from your OneDrive.



To access the System log select the keyboard shortcut Win+R, type
eventvwr.msc and press the ENTER key. From the list in the left side of the window select Windows Logs and System. Place the cursor on System, select Action from the Menu and
Save All Events as (the default evtx file type) and give the file a name. Do not provide filtered files.
Do not place the cursor in the list of reports before selecting Action from the menu. Do
not clear logs whilst you have a continuing problem.

My thoughts are hold off. I'm in the middle of the CU update over a Wi-Fi. First phase was slow enough, but now after that first restart, I'm doubting it's going to finish today!
