    Windows 10 to 11, or feature updates, are the worst. Sometimes literal hours with adequate RAM, storage space, and NVME drive. It’s insane.

      Half the time it’s not even doing anything. Minimal CPU and disk usage. They want update to be a background thing, but sometimes I just want it to hurry up and be over with.

      MS must be listening to me. I just did todays update and it had my CPUs E cores pegged at 100% usage for a few minutes installing updates.

      No they aren’t.

      Feature updates take the same amount of time as monthly updates. It’s been like this for years.

        Recently spent almost four hours waiting for Windows Update on a brand-new PC. It wasn’t even apparent how long it would take, just kept grinding, rebooting, and grinding again.

        For a three-decade OS that many bright programmers have worked on, Windows update sucks royally.
