--- Comment #4 from Roman Bogorodskiy <novel@FreeBSD.org> ---
I suspect that might be the case still.

I have a relatively fresh Windows 10 guest that I run using:

bhyve -c 2 -m 8192 -A -I -u -H -P \
 -s 0:0,hostbridge \
 -l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd,fwcfg=3Dqemu \
 -s 2:0,xhci,tablet -s 31:0,lpc -s 3:0,ahci,hd:/data/img/windows10.img \
 -s 6:0,e1000,tap6,mac=3D52:54:00:c1:0a:00 -s 4:0,fbuf,tcp=3D127.0.0.1:5944=
 \
 -l com1,/dev/nmdmWindows10A windows10

Several times I was trying to install the Windows SDK and it always freezin=
g at
10-15% of downloading. When it happens, bhyve keeps running like:

49000 root         15   0    0  8309M  7444M kqread   2  41:31 197,61% bhyv=
e:
windows10 (bhyve)

Once I've changed e1000 to virtio, I was able to install SDK and all the ot=
her
necessary stuff without issues.
