microsoft visual studio 2017 stuck installing

Needless to say, restarting and re-running the Visual Studio Installer will bring the same result: when it will try installing the Win10SDK, the tool will become stuck again. Please run the Visual Studio Installer again to correct the issue. The setup for this installation of Visual Studio is not complete. Such scenario can be troublesome, especially if you're performing a 'standard' VS2017 update, because you will be basically unable to launch Visual Studio until you fix that. When this happens, the window GUI appear to be still responding and not locked up: however, pressing the Cancel button does nothing and basically hangs the tool undefinitely until its process is manually killed using Task Manager. The issue can be easily summarized with the following screenshot: The issue we're talking about is related to the installation phase of the Win10SDK module, precisely Win10SDK_3 at the time of writing - but we know that the issue also happened before and will most likely happen with future versions of the Win10SDK package as well. As you can easily notice, the installation phase is splitted into 2 steps: the download, which happen first, and the actual install. If you've stumbled upon this post, it most likely means that you're trying to install or update Visual Studio 2017 Community or Enterprise using the Visual Studio Installer tool.
