Hi folks.
Even in a VM if updating a new build via WU and it fails for something silly like non supported CPU / graphics / no TPM etc etc (all of which you can change via the "Virtual Hardware" in the VMs configuration on most VM platforms) -- on retry the update process re-downloads the whole update again -- surely after fixing the error and doing the "retry" the system shouldn't have to re-download the whole dogs dinner again -- must be really annoying for those on slow Internet --I'm lucky there. But surely are developers that bonkers -- anybody who has any experience with computers - even 5 mins worth want to be able to re-start a failed process without going right back to the start where possible. I can understand if you run out of disk space - but that's obvious enough - but for the other stuff --especially in a VM re-download of the entire update shouldn't be necessary.
Imagine if you get a glitch many pages through a PhD thesis and you'd have to start the whole thing from scratch again !!!!.
Cheers
