So, you’ve enrolled in the Dev channel of the Windows Insider Preview, have finally received the Windows 11 preview build, and the updates are rolling out. But how long do you have to wait for the update to fully download and install? This is a question that many who received the Windows 11 updates via the Insider Preview Dev channel are eager to know. Well, here’s what to do if your Windows 11 update is stuck.

It’s not uncommon for Windows updates to get stuck during the download and installation process. It may not always be immediately apparent, but the updates are downloading in the background, even if the percentage markers don’t show it.

However, due to internet or power outages, Windows Update may not be able to complete the process seamlessly. In such cases, once connectivity is re-established, the update will continue where it left off, although it may take a little longer for Windows Update to confirm the status of the downloaded package.

The only thing you can do while Windows is updating and seems stuck is to be patient and let the installation happen in the background.
