windows 10 windows update stuck on initializing updates

However, if you kill the installation process using Task Manager and then immediately again try to install (with info-sharing allowed), you get an error message telling you that there is a problem and to try again later. Cleanup: The installation doesn’t appear to do anything on disk in the first (and only) 18% of its life.Right click on the WD Installation app and select End Task.To open Task Manager press Ctrl+Shift+Esc.No Cancel button: Use Task Manager to kill the process.After installation, you can switch off sharing in the installed app (Settings > Product Improvement Program).

If you allow info-sharing (default), the installation works.

WD Discovery installation hangs at 18% if you did NOT agree to share Product Improvement info.
