Windows 10: Windows Update stuck at 29% for 14 hours

As the title says my computer has been stuck updating at 29% for 14 hours and I shut it down and yes I do know it can cause permanent damage but I have things to do, This actually happens every time I try to update my computer and for months I've been trying to avoid updating my pc because I know it will just get stuck at 29% for days at a time. The reason I tried to update now was because I was installing new Radeon drivers and it needed me to update to the newest windows update.Windows 10 1909

Windows 10 Update stuck at 14% for about a two hours

Hi. I have a „HP ProBook 650“ laptop.

My free Windows 10 upgrade came this morning.

At first, the checking status lasted for whole 3 hours, when I decided to stop it and start it again. The process again took only 10-20 seconds (as it is listed in the „Windows 10 Upgrade FAQ“).

Next, for the Windows 10 installation purposes, a clicked the "restart" button in the confirmation dialog, so that the upgrade process can begin.

Now, the upgrade process stays at 14% for about a 2 hours.

Any suggestions ?

My configuration:

HP ProBook 650,

CPU: Intel Celeron Dual-Core 2.8GHz,

Ram: 4GB,

HDD: 500GB,

Persistent Internet (WI-FI) connection.

Hi,

Welcome and thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I understand your concern about upgrade to Windows 10 version 1511 as the update stuck at 29%. We will help you with this issue.

This issue might have occurred due to corrupted Windows Updates components, anti-virus software, speed of internet connection.

• Do let us know if you are using wired/ wireless internet connection?

If you are using wireless internet connection, I suggest you to switch to wired connection (Connected the internet cable to your device) and try if you are able to run the Windows Update.

Method 1: I suggest you to uninstall anti-virus software and run the Windows Updates troubleshooter.

Step 1: Disable anti-virus software. If the issue still persists, try to uninstall the anti-virus software.

NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install
other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

Step 2: I suggest you to
run the Windows Update troubleshooter and check if you are able to install the updates.

Windows Update Troubleshooter resolves problems that prevents you from updating windows.
