wumgr repeatedly fails to get the job done on win10

[whitis]

wumgr fails multiple times during initial set of updates on nearly virgin windows 10 2004 install. This will likely reproduce using a clone of a win 7 virtual machine or just a fresh Win10 install in a virtual machine. A handful of drivers will be different but the results likely will be the same.

• Started on a windows 7 laptop (toshiba satellite C655-S5082) from an estate that had hardly been used except to play solitare.
• Used the windows media creation tool (yesterday) to create a Win 10 DVD from windows 7.
• Ran setup from DVD without rebooting. asked to download updates during install but it didn't.
• select wipe everything
• install chocolatey
• install a handful of other packages (that propably aren't necessary to reproduce) using choco: 7zip, adobereader, audacity,avastfreeantivirus, bleachbit,calibry,curl,cutepdf,ffmpeg,gedit,gimp,googlechrome,iinfrarecorder,inkscape,jitsi,jre8,keepassxc,krita,libreoffice,malwarebytes,okular,openssh (-params '"/SSHServerFeature"),peazip,thunderbird,vlc,wget,windirstat,wsl,wsl-ubuntu-2004 (failed),wsl-ubuntu-1804 (--ignore-checksums),zoom
• install wumgr using choco
• run wumgr, select all 8 updates, and click install. Inspite of having an 84GB update, wumgr says it "may take a few minutes" and give no meaningful progress indication.

Seems to hang indefinitely. Had to go into windows update repeatedly to get things going. Here is a nice screenshot of the first time.

Rerunning wumgr after restart, stalled again. and again. Failed downloads (not reported) and restart required (not reported) seem to be the stumbling blocks.

I'm also having issues, Wumgr seems to have changed enough things that I can't undo them, and now Wumgr doesn't work nor does the base Windows Update functionality.

Do you actually need to run this tool on a nearly clean installation? People who resort to these kind of tools look for on demand or whenever-I-want update options, which MS doesn't provide anymore. I suggest you try a clean install and use the native update solution, then use this for future updates, whenever you want.
