Same here! Freezes at 54%! Before dism... and scannow... stopped at 36% or 53%. Since the fixes it goes reliably up to 54%! Great Job MS.
This issue goes around since ... right! Fall!!!! Should be a solid half year now! And still this huge crowd of programmers couldn't fix it?!?! Or is reluctant to fix it? Like in pharmaceutical industry: too few people having a desease -> no one starts research!
Is that it? Are we a minority here? Then just tell us and we'll switch OS! Promise!
I for sure wouldn't go to MAC, for me it would be Linux which I am using right now to write you these few lines. Funny enough the 1709 worked fine on the same machine under Linux 14.04 and in Virtualbox! Just the native install doesn't work.
