The longest part for me was the download (we've got some internet issues in the area). As soon as the installation kicked off, it was about 10 minutes.

Just to pour oil on the fire 
I have several PCs that had to be reversed out of 22H2 as they then failed to talk to older machines on the network that couldn't be updated to a similar level
Fortunately the reversal is much quicker than the installation
In particular client software wouldn't connect to sql server running on an older machine (windows 2003 so very old machine) came up with an ssl error. Reversing the update fixed it

I lost faith in applying logic to MS's update methodology with the Windows OS years ago. I'm still trying to figure out why random functions in Windows 10 break while a new update is only downloaded and staged (supposedly). I've had updates here in my office take over 12 hours to complete. I've had all sorts of functions break until the staged update is applied. It is insane since I directly oversee around 200 computers, laptops, and tablets. I'm delaying my jump to Windows 11 for the same reason that I delay all updates of MS software - to allow their public debugging process to get farther on down the road. Good luck.

I've noticed the same thing. Here's my suspicion, with zero actual knowledge.
While Windows Modules Installer Worker is running and killing the disk early, it's downloading huge files to install.
When it gets to the point you're talking about, it's moving those files to the windows directory from the downloads area. Then, updating registry if necessary. Maybe backing stuff up first just in case, too.
I suspect the "100%" is indicating all the moving of files has been accomplished, and registry updating is happening. Again, no inside knowledge, just a pure guess.
It is frustrating to see the indicator at 100%. If you're 100% done, why am I not using my computer?

Pro Tip... don't use modern Window OS on old hardware.
Its slow, it uses legacy driver emulation & it doesn't make your life better.
Align the hardware age in your computer with the Window OS lifespans. Match those two & it will be smooth as butter.

Umm, not to be argumentative, but your statement contradicts reality. This occurred on a less than 1 year old AMD Ryzen 7 based laptop, 64GB ram, RTX3080, gigabit ethernet, and a Samsung NVMe SSD.
No, Microsoft's bugs and design decisions are legendary. I noted how I fixed it above, but I think the update process has a race condition in it where the "let's go do the update" code misses the completion of the download. Conjecture on my part, but another post above explained how the process worked.
I can understand not having drivers with older hardware - but the update process should detect a mismatch and give a meaningful error. Unfortunately MS simply does not give a crap.

Apologies if this has already been brought up but I haven’t received a newsletter since Monday. Is anyone receiving the newsletter? It’s part of my morning routine.

The newsletter elves are busy with giftwrapping duties.

Thanks. I just took a quick look in the Site Bugs forum and didn’t see any other messages about it so I just posted a message there.

There's a newsletter ?
CI/CD = Continuous Impediment/Continuous Despair
|
|
|
|
|
The name of it is “Daily News” and it contains links to news articles (typically with a snarky comment about the article) and it’s normally delivered every weekday morning.
|
|
|
|
|
I tried sending you an email confirmation request to see if that helps. Please let me know if you receive it OK.
Thanks,

Sean,
I received it and confirmed my email. I’ll let you know when I receive the newsletter.
Thanks!

Just had a chance to check my spam folder and it looks like everything that I’m subscribed to from CodeProject was going there. Don’t know why Gmail decided to do that all of a sudden. Weird.

I've been receiving mine each morning.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes ... I had it each day this week, no problems at all ...
|

For some reason Gmail has suddenly decided that CodeProject emails are spam. This morning’s newsletter was, again, in the spam folder. Weird.

What if we put those silly advertisements at the bottom of programming sites, and they linked to tips on good programming practices?

How many of you are into Advent-of-Code (or aware of it)? It is quite big in my office, and I assure you, not just among youngsters. The puzzles can be nifty, I wish I had the energy to take them on.
If this has been discussed here already, I am sorry.
