Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

Having not used FS for a few weeks it found the need to install 40th anniversary update. The first time it reached 90% than CTD. Several other tries it hung up on CFU. Removed program and reinstalled. Same thing though it got nowhere near 90%. When first reinstalling, it had 522 files/processes in the update. The next time it had 340. But it got hung up on #1, decompressing A310. Before uninstalling program, tried all fixes including deleting cache, running as administrator, checking updates, reloading gaming services etc.

AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor 3.40 GHz 32GB RAM

Have tried updating over 20 times, have tried all found “work arounds” i.e., disable defender, load to a different drive, cleared cache… always freezes on decompress, not the same file every time, but has never gone more that 10%
