Windows 10 updates slow

[Julian1]

Windows 10 updates seem to be taking a long time to install causing staff to be unable to get on with important tasks. We don't have delivery optimisation enabled (peer to peer), would it we worth enabling it (for local PCs only)? I'm loathe to try it without knowing if we'll see tangible benefits.

Hola Julian, have you tried to deploy updates when they switch off the machine? Then they won't be doing any important task, just going home and leave the computer alone doing its business. This is how I manage W7, W10 updates on my school.

I don't think we could do that, staff pcs are all laptops and they take them home at the end of the day. Currently, I'm not sure how the updates are controlled as the server maintenance is outsourced.

even without wsus you can use GPOs to set an appropriate time to do updates (e.g. out of hours, during lunch, after 15:30) and what action to take for missed updates.

The following might be worth a try (test it on one computer first however).

This might be the answer, currently the problem seems to be worst first thing and stops the registers being completed. I'd still be interested to know if Delivery Optimisation would help.
