This update took just under an hour on my Envy, from download to Install Finish. 
14 minutes for me on a very sad 6Mbps download speed 
Well no way I could time it, the only way to get it was by downloading it from the Update Catalogue KB at 736MB and that didn’t take long downloading at about 40Mbps. It ran the download and installed, but came up with the update failed message that was talked about. Going back to windows update, it now said that an update was available.
That was done via the regular WU, which didn’t take too long and completed. I then rebooted and now it is reporting the correct version number in winver Version 1709 (OS Build 16299.334
Just started the update via Security and Updates on my Compaq. Oddly this update is doing the same “glitch” it did on my Envy.
Download % goes from 0-100% in about 45 seconds and then just sits there for quite some time…Then starts again from 0%
The install part did the same thing?? :
Will see just how long process is on this LT
Update: Yeh took a little less time on Compaq, just over 30 min.
That first countdown is for starting the download. Like being told how much longer you need to wait till
it’s your turn.
Took me about 45 Min. for the download and install. Considering that I’m on hotel WiFi, that wasn’t too bad.
Yep, same thing as schmidthouse, but saw 1st instance was for interrogation of the system. Once that was done, entire process took 28 minutes for a ten-year old system, but I cheated. I used a wired connection.
System has a 2.8 Pentium D.

If you are still running this version, it’s time to update. A new release is coming next month.
I know this is an old topic but I was just wondering when the Spring Creators Update will be ready to update.
A search will answer you’re question https://www.windowslatest.com/2018/04/11/windows-10-spring-creators-update-release-reportedly-delayed/
It’s amazing how much information is out there once you put the power of a search engine into play.

Does this one differ from other win10 cumulative update we have just done very recently 1709 (OS Build 16299.402) ?
EDIT: How big is it, as I still haven’t regained LAN/WiFi connection for my win10 laptop. I did the last update with my laptop tethered to my mobile phone.
Not recommended if you’re on slow or limited internet access.
I have just been looking at the redirect page from that link (as I’m using my only system with fast internet connection XP) to try and download offline. But it is talking about 5GB space on a USB and I’m not even sure what this update is about or necessary, from that page.
The website gives you two options
- Update Now
- Download the Media Creation Tool
This will allow you download the ISO file to do a manual install.
If you want the Windows 10 April 2018 Update NOW, then this is the way to go.
You can also wait till it’s given to you as an update via the update function.
That will happen sometime between now and ??? ??? ???
Thanks Bob,
It just seems strange that this is getting called the April 10 update when we already have the cumulative update released in April.
I actually took a chance on the win10 cumulative update recently 1709 (OS Build 16299.402) using my mobile phone tethered for my win10 laptop. That worked out at a little under 400MB, fortunately it didn’t exceed my monthly data plan.
I’m installing the Spring Creators update but it’s taking a long time.
