I'm currently running windows 10 insider preview build 19536 PreRelease 191211-1446.

I'm trying to upgrade to the latest release preview 19587

I'm able to start the process using the normal windows updates, the files download without issue & installation start. The install process gets to 62% completion & then stops...

It does not continues at all & even if you wait for hours, it does not work.

Any ideas ?

    All i can think of right now is that you're probably experiencing this know issue..

    You can try the following:

    Command Prompt with Administrator privileges...

    type reagentc /info

     

    In my case Windows RE status:  was disabled / missing.

     

    I had to find a copy (on the local hard disk) and then enable it....after that I was able to install new builds.

      yep tried that already. It was enabled

       

      issue still persist.

       

      I even tried resetting the SoftwareDistribution folder (a couple of times) but no luck with that either

        This is what I did to get past the 62% after months of broken updates...

         

        In order to locate the Winre.wim file, you can search the file on your computer. From an elevated Command Prompt, type the following command to search for the Winre.wim file on C: drive:

        dir /a /s c:\winre.wim

         

        When you find the Winre.wim file and it is vaild, you can type command “reagentc /setreimage /path [path of Winre.wim]”. For example, “Reagentc /setreimage /path C:\Recovery\WindowsRE”

         

        Then reboot enough to get WU to restart the download / install of the new build.

         

        I have no proof...but I believe that the winre.wim on the recovery partition was corrupted by a past build. I tried many things during Jan and Feb to get the builds to install....and this is the only thing that worked.
