To clarify, that was on the windows dev kit running snapdragon, not his beastly Ampere system.
Ahh I missed that!
Makes more sense then -- that seemed a bit long for any update
It's a shame that motherboard doesn't have enough RAM channels.
an hour for updates? took about 15 minutes, including downloading (on dsl) on a brand new $230 11th gen i3 laptop yesterday.. wu and store (where there was several dozen more 'updates')
I have no experience with Windows for ARM, but what I know of Windows update tells me the patch environment for that platform haven't gotten up from before rollup era and a new image needed to process hundreds of updates. Especially if it was and "old" image.
It's also possible that the update was a bigger feature update and those usually take longer, not 1 hour though.
