10162 download ands install like molasses

I tried to D/L 162 yesterday but after about 3 hours was still at 0 %
and no progress on the bar, also I noticed there was no activity of the
Nic led.
So tried again and found it was waiting for a 602 update to complete
which seemed to not happen, went to advanced option and tried to delete
installed updates which I know there were 2 but delete program said
there were none !
Well I cold booted again and tried and this time there was LED activity
on The NIC so I let it run and shut of the monitor only, this was at
10:00 pm last night, About 6:30 this am the keyboard lights flicked on
and off a couple times accompanied by some windows sounds so I knew it
had finally rebooted and was running 10162.
It usually takes about 3 hours or so but I don't really know what the
problem was this time.

On my machine, my Logitech webcam software was "awakened" by the
OS, such that the software tried to re-install itself. Since I
wasn't prepared for this, the USB webcam wasn't plugged in. It
might have taken a long time, for 10162 to install, while
that activity was stuck in a loop. Plugging in the USB webcam it
wanted, helped stop the looping behavior.

I use tools like ProcMon and Task Manager, for as long as
the update offers me a desktop screen view I can use. Once
the screen disappears, then I have no controls. But up to
that point, I can watch for interactions and "fix" them.
That includes really disabling the Search Indexer or
disabling real-time AV protection.

My OS decided that it *must* upgrade the Adobe Flash plugin
on Internet Explorer, before 10162 to go forward. That was
another small waste of time near the beginning.

I downloaded the ISO, so maybe that explains why it went smoothly.

The upgrade didn't take any longer that way. BTW, I have Win 10 on a
virtual machine, so did not need to burn a DVD.

The download and update was normal for me and was done in less than an
hour.

I guess it was something in my or Microsoft's system that went haywire,
My win 10 is on a 120 GB SSD with noting else on the drive, So it should
have went smoothly as before.
Well we will see what happens on the next update.

I found one thread on the web, where a "dosvc" folder ends up with
hundreds of thousands of files in it, and it can fill an SSD drive
while 10162 installs. To delete the contents of the folder later, can
take an hour. (Apparently, that's why we have SSD drives, so we
can wait an hour for them to drain!!! Sheesh.)

That particular subsystem, is related to doing Windows Update from
a local computer. Say one computer has downloaded some Windows Update
files. It can share what it downloaded, with another computer on the
LAN, and reduce the download load necessary to keep the two
computers up to date. Some aspect of that was broken, causing
a "dosvc" loop and filling a directory with files.

Some people had a very small (~1MB folder), and others ended
up with gigabytes of stuff in the folder. You could survey
your system using WinDirStat or similar, to sport the damage
pattern. (It would be a gray looking area of disk, with lots
and lots of very small files.) Or, you could go look
in the named folder mentioned here. I first saw mention
of this on some Microsoft forum.

Looking at the dosvc folder, it is 384 KB, 3 files.
,Or would it be cleaned out by now?
