Bug Description
When you try to install Ubuntu on the same Windows disk, Ubiquity is stopped on the Updates and other Software screen.
So far the solution is to open the GNOME Disks application, and unmount and mount the Windows boot partition several times.
When rebooting the installer displays a message that partitions are mounted and if you want Ubiquity to unmount them. When answering Yes, the installation continues.
This does not happen with other distributions, For example KDE NEON (Calamares Installer) or Fedora (Anaconda installer)
This happens whenever there is a dedicated Windows partition on the main disk, even if one tries to install Ubuntu on an external disk where there is no other distribution.
This is how the partitions of my disks are distributed at the time of the report
