Windows 10: Why is Windows Update running so slow

I started installing the latest Window update on my Lenovo computer an two hours ago and it is only 27% through and seems to be stuck on 27%.


I have had lengthy installs before but nothing this slow.


Why is this happening? I just doubled my download speed with my provider, so that's not the problem.

A lot of things can cause a slow startup, most common would be drivers. It will take a *long* time for us to go through all the options, so i'll just list the steps i do for a fresh windows install that is problem free, you can let us know if you missed any of it.


1. Format the drive - clean windows install from DVD
2. install all drivers you can from windows update first, except video card. Make sure to install and update .Net, as modern video card drivers require that.
3. install any missing drivers (check device manager), including video card manually, with downloads from their respective websites. never install from the motherboard DVD/website unless you have to.
