First time running into issues with my SP3. Was able to download the latest build without any issues. Restarted and the overall install is 18% (blue ring has disappeared) and the Copying Files step is stuck on 63%. Been like that for 15-20 minutes or so.
Should I wait it out or try to shut my Surface off?
 
I'm getting this problem on a regular desktop PC, as well. Exact same spot; 18% while copying files at 63%.
 
Same here. Desktop PC, sitting at 18% total, 62% copying files. Not sure what to do from here.
 
Looks like they are working on a fix on that Microsoft Answers Page. However, looks like it is a pretty common issue.
Microsoft's recommendation of deleting the temporary files and the old OS files had no effect for me. Will just have to wait it out.
 
Yeah. I did a disk clean up removing previous OS versions, restore points.. everything. No go. Unplugged/uninstalled all peripherals. No go.

Three times now, so yeah. Definitely something up.

Edit: Did a clean install of 10074, then went through Windows update to 10122. Updated fine. Pain in the arse doing a fresh reinstall, but I've got the new build at least.
