How much free space do you have?

Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes.

I got busy with some other things, and after 45 minutes, the update was completed. There is over 65% disc capacity available. So not sure what was going on, but download and update are completed. Thanks for the help!
