Have you looked in the c:\windows\panther\setupact.log file to see what the update process is doing to take so long? It’s a huge log but the entries are timestamped so you might be able to scan through it and find large amounts of time being consumed by some of the steps.

Thank you very much, Stephanie. I am stumped as to why it is so much longer now, almost 4 x, compared to Win 7 to Win 10 1607. We’ll keep digging.
