It’s been about 20 minutes as I stare at the Unity Hub installation of Unity 2021.3.38f1 which is stuck at “In progress (12 of 13 completed)”.

I do not see any of the notorious Microsoft Windows 11 Pro “pop-under” windows that can sometimes be the culprit to installing just about anything, but this time, at least, that does not seem to be the cause of the “big stall”.

I have a hard-wired CAT-6e Ethernet connection to a 940mbps fiber-optic internet (fiber all the way to the router) on Windows 11 Pro, Intel i7, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, so it’s not like I’m installing on a slow computer.

Has anybody else seen this behavior?

if so, did cancelling the install do any damage?

I’m going to wait another hour and see if it clears up

If it does not recover, just try again. If it keeps doing that check the hub .log to see where it gets stuck, perhaps even why.

PS: don’t attach office documents, I’m surprised the forum even allows that. You can post (embed or attach) screenshots or plain text.
