Windows 10: windows upgrade 1909

Windows update is terrible! First, I’m not a novice. My first computer was before win 95. The update process has only gotten slower. I have 4 computers now running windows, if not for my monetary investment I’m ready to kick them all to the curb and try an Apple Os. My laptop is now 2 years old running win version 1809. It has been a battle to update from day one. Every month it updates takes 4 or 5 hours to download and install buy the time I get all the cumulative updates installed. I have to start all over for next month. I let it update overnight 8 or 9 hours when I get up it is still updating fails to install after 2 or 3 tries it finally succeeds in installing updates. I don’t have high speed internet. I have DSL line it works great. All monthly rollouts are now up to date. The problem now is the feature update 1909 it says I need to update and install. II have tried 4 times to update I let it download all night it gets to 99% and stays there for hours till I finally restart. So last week I went to the library, they have faster internet I log on, everything is working well I disable AVG. click download and install feature update 1909 2 hours later it gets to 99% and stops. FAIL So yesterday I go back to the library try again, click update and install. then getting things ready that takes 45 minutes, then it starts downloading. I have learned not to try to do any other work or surf the web it just slows everything down. It downloads for another hour finally gets to 100% then pending install, I wait, it finally starts to install gets to 15%. I have to head home, when I get there I plug in to AC power still installing 26% over the next 2 hours it finally gets to 100% I wait till it says restart required then restart, it restarts and I get the blue screen do not turn off your computer. This will take some time over the next 5 hours it gets to 90%. I go to bed, get up the next morning still at 90%. This is BS. Please don’t tell me to try again or download to a thumb drive. How long will that take? Microsoft wants me to install a new version of Windows then give me the media to do so. Once I have downloaded updates to 100% why do I have to start all over again?

What is the solution??

Windows 10 1909 Causes Secondary Hard Drive to not be Recognized

Installing the Windows 10 1909 Update causes my secondary hard drive to not be recognized.

Steps to confirm issue:

• Secondary drive not visible in Windows Explorer
• Secondary drive not visible in device manager
• Secondary drive not visible in disk manager

Steps to replicate issue:

• Installing 1909 update

Steps to resolve issue:

• Uninstall 1909 update

Since updates can only be delayed for so long, an actual fix would be appreciated.
