    Windows 10 1803 x64 update takes extremely long or hangs


    Hi,


    I'm trying to perform Windows update on a brand new MS Surface Book 2 that is pre-installed with Windows 10 1709. I have to apparently first install 1803 before I can get to the latest build 1903. However, it is consistently hanging during installation. I've tried rebooting, safe mode and deleting all files in c:\windows\softwaredistribution\download and then restarting, but it's either extremely slow (stuck at "Installing" 91% the first time and now 89% for more than half an hour) or just plain hung (I can't tell since there's no indication).


    Again, this is a BRAND NEW Surface Book 2, which is a MICROSOFT HARDWARE product if I might add, so I have no idea why it fails.


    I've read comments from other posts that the 1803 update should take like 10 mins to install. Why does mine take so long, and how can I resolve it?

    :)

    Windows 10 1803 update issues(Solved!)

    I have Asus P6T Deluxe V2 with X5650 and after this update system would hang at blue boot logo, i decided to restore bios defaults and then update continued normaly, when everything was done i decided to restore my oc-ed bios settings but win would hang again at blue logo so i started to disable options in bios until i disabled in "Intel VT-d configuration" option "Enable VT-d" after that system would boot normaly and interesting thing is that this is disabled in default bios but i enabled it long time ago, but like i said this is happening only with 1803 update.

    Windows 10 April 2018 Update(SCU) Partially Breaks MKV File Support?

    Yeah, they play perfectly fine.

    Thanks, this did the trick perfectly!

    I'm scratching my head then, because so far every computer I update to 1803, even fresh installs, can no longer read the details of mkv files. But at least icaros fixes the problem for now. Hopefully the bug is fixed in Windows natively eventually.
