I have been trying to install update for a couple days now. Right now it says - Downloading 99%. but is has said that for the past 12 hours. There is not enough space on the laptop/notebook so i have a 64GB thumbdrive in to help make more room. I have no idea what to do. I have left it on all night so it could do its thing but it hasn't advanced.

What am I supposed to do?

    @laurawaigand-8753
    To avoid misunderstanding please help to confirm the following questions first:
    Where did get the updates from? WSUS server or Windows Update from the Internet?

    As I know, the update files will be downloaded to the software distribution folder in C disk. Here is a related screenshot for your reference:

    Pehaps we could clean up your disk drive and uninstall the unwanted programs first. And then we could try to install the updates.

    Thanks for your time and have a nice day.

    Regards,
    Rita
