    Got HUGE problems with Windows Update on Server 2016.I’ve tried to download: “Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2016 for x64-based Systems (KB3201845)” as well as the most recent KB3206632. It starts to download, but then stops “forever” at: “Downloading updates 95%” or “Downloading updates 0%”. Absolutely nothing happens after that… no install or restart. Happening on multiple machines and it last for DAYS. Some are production so don’t want to mess around.Happens with sconfig method or using the UI.Furthermore, the Windows Modules Installer runs constantly using up 30-50% CPU. Basically impossible to download or install Windows updates on Windows Server 2016!Help!
