Microsoft Disability Answer Desk is partially correct. The stable (released to the general public) versions of Windows 10 from which the update to version 1709 is downloaded show update progress, but only a general one and not for each update separately, therefore if there are more than one update available you'll be unable to check individually the progress of version 1709. Insider builds (those targetted to techies who want to test Windows beta versions) show progress for each update separately inside the list item of each update; you can see this info with JAWS by using the Touch Cursor with Advanced Object Navigation enabled. In any case, unlike NVDA and Windows Narrator, JAWS is currently unable to report the progress automatically as it does in traditional (remember that Settings is actually an Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app), so if using JAWS you need to check the progress manually, even when Progress Bar Announcement in JAWS is turned on. Another alternative is to use the Media Creation Tool to download an ISO file for the language and architecture you want and then mount and install the ISO manually. Since the Media Creation Tool is a desktop app, JAWS will read the download progress correctly. In the installation program the percentage is said in text instead of a progress bar; no screen reader can therefore report the change, but you can press INSERT+B or use JAWS/Invisible Cursor even if you don't have JAWS 2018.
