Honestly, I would prefer a couple milestone percentages (25%, 50%, 75%) and a vague “almost there” over a smooth progress bar that freezes at an arbitrarily close to complete percentage. Just keep something going to prove the process didn’t hang and you have a perfect progress bar in my opinion. <br><br>If the process hangs, there should be a way to see where it got stuck though. Maybe just a file path of the file it’s working on or a code for the tech support people.
