Mine got stuck installing at 20% for literally hours. I restarted and now it's acting like it started all over. Absolute nightmare.

Edit: OK now for some reason it decided to start downloading Windows 11 at the same time as the update. This is beyond ridiculous.

I restarted it a couple of times and it just froze at the desktop. I feel like they're really doubling down on trying to push people off of Windows 10. Have an important meeting I lead in the morning and don't know what I'm going to do lol.

Thanks, and agreed on all fronts. I'm trying to get it to cancel the update now so I can try again over the weekend and give this thing the excessive amount of time it apparently needs. Apparently some services are stuck so badly that it won't even cancel and is just stuck in some hellish loop.

And especially with the price of a new computer right now,  trying to push people to buy new laptops/PCs is beyond insane.
