Windows 10 Feature Update 2004 taking too long to install

Anonymous

Today I was notified by Windows Update that the 2004 update is finally ready to be downloaded and installed on my laptop. I pressed download and install and left the laptop plugged in idle as I did not have any laptop work to do at that time. Now it's been 4 hours since I left it on, and the Windows Update screen (in the Settings > Updates & Security) is still at 94% installing, which is the exact number I saw more than an hour ago. Is it stuck? Why is it taking so long to install? My internet is fast enough, I don't have many programs installed apart from a few essentials such as Office and Inkscape along with other credible software. I am afraid that if I close it and reset the Windows Update, it'll take 4+ hours again (not to mention the additional lengthy rebooting and installing the update again in the blue background screen which happens with every single update), plus it's already night here so I cannot leave it turned on while I go to sleep.

    Hi, 

    My English is not good, 

    I have a VAIO  laptop windows 10,  today I updated version 2004, and finished (1:57 hrs) , then restarted,   to make sure i rechecked updates in settings, surprisingly the same update showed up, and started "DOWNLOADING" but got stuck in 5% for about 2:45 hrs, 

    1-Have I done anything wrong? 

    2-Why update is back again after I saw %100 download!!?? 

    3- I bought this vaio f224fx late 2013 with windows 8, then last year I updated to windows 10. 

    4- What if I do not download the update?? 

    ----, 

    sounds unusual to me 

    I appreciate any help, thanx

    Yeah... mine sat on 82% for like 9 hours. 

    In-general unless your PC goes *completely frozen (like you can't even move you mouse on the screen) Windows Update doesn't really "freeze" it just hangs on to certain percentages while it does "something" behind the scenes (what we don't know and it probably shouldn't be doing).

    SO: like you said "let it do it's thing". If you think it's frozen it probably isn't.

    Hi Nate, thanks for responding. Well just got the famous error message at 8pm EST after starting update 4 1/2 hours ago at 3:30pm. Oxc1900101. Anyone else got this error message? If yes, were you able to work past it? This is my 4th try of updating since receiving it on my Dell laptop. Feature update to Windows 10, version 1909 was successfully installed on 11/13/2019. Help!
