What they don’t tell you is that “later” actually means “after rebooting”. However, if you kill the installation process using Task Manager and then immediately again try to install (with info-sharing allowed), you get an error message telling you that there is a problem and to try again later.

Cleanup: The installation doesn’t appear to do anything on disk in the first (and only) 18% of its life.

Right click on the WD Installation app and select End Task.

To open Task Manager press Ctrl+Shift+Esc.

No Cancel button: Use Task Manager to kill the process.

After installation, you can switch off sharing in the installed app (Settings > Product Improvement Program). If you allow info-sharing (default), the installation works.

WD Discovery installation hangs at 18% if you did NOT agree to share Product Improvement info.

As well as any other pointers/suggestions. This user who commented only 3 days ago is also stuck at 18%: Īny guidance on how to properly & safely stop the install since there is no “Cancel” button, and then how to properly “clean up” after stopping an install, would be appreciated.

This thread has some information:, but my install has not yet failed.

I have read multiple Support answers, include:.

I have read multiple Community threads, including: and even some for Mac install - none have helped.

For nearly 1 hour the install has been stuck at “Installing 18%”.
