I have observed behaviour where, when the time limit of 90 seconds is reached, the limit increases by another 90 seconds and nothing else happens (for hours). eg [ <*> ] A stop job is running for Manage, Install and Generate Color Profiles (34min 54s / 36min)_ Fortunately, that hasn't happened for a few months. It's very embarrassing when my laptop takes longer to close down than my wife's W10. Cheers, David.
