So that we can try to reproduce this with the same settings you have, can you tell us the settings you have in
System Settings -> Software Update

Thanks.

Thank you for sharing your update settings. Can you describe exactly where you start the update, for example, from 6.4.3 to 6.4.4?
Is this within Discover or from the system tray?

When I trigger an update from Discover, there is progress shown.
