Can confirm. Yeah, that's a solid fix. Also, try temporarily disabling any third-party antivirus before the upgrade—it can sometimes block the process.

Agreed, and also unplug any non-essential USB devices like printers or external drives. They can occasionally cause hiccups during the install.

Agreed. You could also try temporarily disabling your antivirus software, as that sometimes interferes with major updates.

You could also free up a good chunk of space on your main drive, as the update needs more room than you'd think to complete.

+1 Have you tried temporarily disabling any third-party antivirus software during the install?
