Is it actually measuring progress of anything as it's happening, or do they just update the percentage when it passes certain milestones? So many progress bars are just straight-up lies that slowly increment a number until the real process finishes and it shoots to 100% from wherever it was at before.
Windows update is definitely milestones. 30% is the "reboot milestone" so if it shows less, it needs to reboot to finish applying.
