I’m updating the status. For 1606 we’ve made some changes, listed below.
As more are added we’ll update what Tech Preview/Release they appear in.

Timeout scan is now configurable
We added a new task sequence variable to allow a configurable timeout for scan. Variable name is SMSTSSoftwareUpdateScanTimeout, default is 30 minutes. Value is set in seconds so an hour is 60×60=3600

Logging changes
In the SMSTS.log we list the log files to check for updates download and evaluation.
These are UpdateDeployment.log, UpdatesHandler.log, WUAHandler.log and WindowsUpdate.log

New Option for full scan
There’s a new checkbox added to the Install Updates step – ‘Evaluate software updates from cached scan results’
If the checkbox is on we use cached results, if the checkbox is off we do a full scan
Task Sequences that are upgraded will have this option checked on – this is parity with the existing behavior

Power management changes
Clients maintain active power state during OS deployment Software Updates tasks.
Some devices (Surface Pro 3 for example) were going into Connected Standby state preventing completion of deployment, this was occurring in the Install Updates step

Windows upgrade roll ups
These are now filtered from the list of applicable updates

1810 and still not good enough I don't even get to the scond reboot just stuck on downloading.

It would be also great to see windows update service logs on real time and not needing to run get-windowsupdatelog command

I am trying to test this option and it's hard to find the problems where the only way to check a log is by exporting it.
