Todays Microsoft updates taking a really long time to download stuck at 78% KB3213986

Since I started the Windows update about 2 hours ago, to download today's January 2017 patch Tuesday updates to my computer, the progress has been stuck on KB3213986 at 78% for almost 2 hours now

Is it the same computer - not necessarily the same problem or install of Win10 - as in one or more of these previous threads of yours?...

This is the same pc but the issue had to do with viewing update history before. I had this issue on one of my familys pcs before when there was an issue with updates getting stuck during downlload last year.

HP2000 laptop, KB3213986 update stuck for hours, seemed then to install, but after a reboot it repeated the whole download, prepare and install procedure again. I did a chkdsk c: /r and after that it installed just fine.

Answer-by-number:

1. Did the computer come with Win10 preinstalled, did you do a clean install of Win10, or did you upgrade a Win7 computer or a Win8.1 computer [<=PICK ONE!] to Win10?

2. Who manufactured the computer (e.g., Dell; HP; Acer; Lenovo; ASUS)?

3. Has a Norton application or a McAfee application EVER been installed on the computer since you bought it?

4. Have you ever run the Norton Removal Tool and/or the McAfee Consumer Products Removal Tool?

5. What Version & OS Build of Windows 10 is currently installed?

  • Press & hold the Windows Key and press the R key. In the RUN dialog, type WINVER and press the Enter key.

6. Have you replaced the HDD on the computer-in-question?

7. Are you a registered Windows Insider and if so, has an Insider Preview build ever been installed?

I posted this question back on this past Tuesday. Since then the updates have installed successfully so the issue has been resolved. It was probable because a lot of users where trying to update pcs at the same time as I was.
