Hi,
Like many others, my Windows 10 Home OS version 1909 features update installation hangs at 91%. I tried updating last night, and it was still stuck on 91% this morning. There are several suggestions online for how to try and get past this problem, including disabling all antivirus and Windows Defender programs and then trying the update installation again.
My question is, since the update is ready to install (it's already been downloaded), does the updater need access to the internet in order to complete the installation? My PC is connected via an Ethernet cable instead of wireless. If I'm going to disable my antivirus and Defender apps, I'd prefer to unplug the Ethernet to prevent access to my system while it is unprotected.
Or am I overthinking this? We have a secure cable modem/router setup with a very strong access password, so is this really even an issue?
