Brief Backstory:
Windows 10 install has taken over 12 hours to reach 17%. I tried every method of starting the install, made sure all updates were ready, and even clean installed Windows 8.1 to no avail. The install is still ludicrously slow. Obviously this is insane on such a fast drive so I start looking around for others with a similar issue. Our local forum member Qu1ckset seems to have the same exact issue, and the common thread is that we are both installing to a 240gb Predator M.2 drive.
I plan to reach out to Kingston to see if they have any tips, but in the meantime, for the sake of data collection/finding a known solution if it exists, I'd love to get the input from other owners on how their Win10 installs are going.
Things we have more or less confirmed:
Thanks in advice for any help/info.

Things we have more or less confirmed:
- Both of us (perhaps foolishly) tried to force the update in various ways rather than letting it roll out naturally. Maybe Microsoft has yet to roll out the fix so held off giving it to us.
- Other drives plugged in have no effect on speed.
- The drives are not full (mine is nearly empty).
- Neither wuauclt.exe or the Media Creation Tool show any performance differences
- Clean install of Windows 8.1 before upgrade doesn't help
