Each restart on this VM takes ages ‘cause of this bullshit. Sfc didn’t find any corruption and dism restorehealth didn’t fix it either. Manually installing a cumulative update package doesn’t help.
When I need to restart the hypervisor for updates, I really should just take a snapshot and force the VM offline, reloading the snapshot after the hypervisor has rebooted. It doesn’t give me the option to shut down or restart *without* updating anymore.
Oh neat! Running sfc /scannow this time around results in a blank response at the prompt. It’s been minutes, and the I/O and CPU pressure stats, and even usage don’t show any signs of gears turning.
I think it's time for a re-install of Windows on this VM.
I'd use Linux, but Spice hasn't worked properly for me whatever combination of distro, compositor, and DE I try, and I haven't been able to figure that out.

I literally only use this VM in a spice session, so
Is Windows even real? This is fucking absurd.
Why the fuck is there 20GB of random Microsoft installer junk sitting in my appdata\temp folder???????
Why didn't storage sense take care of it when I specifically checked off cleanup of the temp folder?!?!?!?!!

Also 6.3GB sitting in SoftwareDistribution\Downloads for... reasons?
This VM has a 160GB VHD (increased from its original 80GB), and my user folder is only taking up 24GB. Everything else is Windows and installed junk, but it's bloated up way more than it should be.
SFC is at 2%, no disk usage in sight. It's been at 2% for five minutes.
BIG changes! We're at 3% now!
20% done SFC scan... on a VHD backed by two mirrored Gen4 NVMe drives with cache.
I've seen this scan finish faster on machines with a SATA SSD.

....It completed and didn't find any corruption. Maybe a full chkdsk scan will find something fucky. Maybe I should just nuke and pave.
I gave this damn VM more resources than it should need, but it runs like such ass. There’s no reason that 4 cores from a Ryzen 5800x, 8GB of DDR4-3600, and mirrored Gen4 NVMe storage should be this slow. I have no choice but to come to the conclusion that Windows is utter and total ass.
Yes, I’m frustrated. I restarted to run the chkdsk, and it forced me to try completing updates again (the build is from July cumulative) rather than letting me reboot without updates. Sitting at “You’re 0% there.” For the last ten minutes.

PAID operating system, by the way :woozy_ie:
I’m not saying I have anytime recently, but it’s bonkers that they charge money for this.
Still 0%. I force stopped the VM. >.>
@maddy At that point, I'd see if the Windows Update Troubleshooter could nuke the update cache as a troubleshooting step, then find out how to do it myself if it won't or can't.
@arielmt Forgot about the WU troubleshooter - thanks!
