Windows 10: Very Slow Windows 10 Updates After Clean Install

I have been upgrading my four computers from Windows 7 to Windows 10 doing clean installs on each computer. The upgrades go smoothly until I start downloading all of the updates needed. The first two rounds of six or so updates each download and install very fast; within 10 - 15 minutes for each update. After that the updates drag, taking hours and hours just to get to 10 - 15 percent on one update. Sometimes they sit there for days with the percent never changing or only increasing a couple of percent. Sometimes an error code will show up with various different codes displayed. This problem has been going on for over a month now! I have tried everything (and I do mean everything) suggested on the Microsoft community forums as well as many other different Windows forums, and NOTHING suggested has solved the slow update problem. It has been suggested that a Windows update is killing the update speed but nobody seems the know which particular update is the culprit. I now have this slow update problem happening on four different computers that I have upgraded, and thousands of other people are experiencing this problem too. I guess I don't really have a question since I have tried EVERYTHING to solve it, so I wouldn't expect you to have a solution. I guess I just wanted to express my extreme frustration with this ongoing problem than nobody can seem to solve. It's hard to believe that this problem can't be solved! I suppose if anyone want to make suggestions, I will tell you I have already tried it, but any help would be appreciated! Thanks for letting me vent!

Windows 10 clean install issues

I have the well known to the webs 'Start Menu Not working / Slow opening apps from taskbar' like you in RS3 aka Fall Creators update,
Even after CLEAN windows install...and there is no permanent fix out there, until M$ fix it.
So i have clean install RS2 Iso and block the updates so RS3 dont install to my system.
Im waiting for RS4 to be released hopefully fixes all those issues...but i doubt, they only thing they do is adding more and more bloatware.

Proof of my problem:

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
