I've noticed the same thing. Here's my suspicion, with zero actual knowledge.

While Windows Modules Installer Worker is running and killing the disk early, it's downloading huge files to install.

When it gets to the point you're talking about, it's moving those files to the windows directory from the downloads area. Then, updating registry if necessary. Maybe backing stuff up first just in case, too.

I suspect the "100%" is indicating all the moving of files has been accomplished, and registry updating is happening. Again, no inside knowledge, just a pure guess.

It is frustrating to see the indicator at 100%. If you're 100% done, why am I not using my computer?
