Success!!!
Had to disable firewall and security apps. Thanks for the support.
TFTP in general is an unreliable protocol (uses UDP). Whenever other protocols like SFTP, SCP or even unencrypted FTP is available I usually prefer them over TFTP.
I've attempted updating the firmware on a GS110TP over TFTP but also ran into timeouts. I've then used the Pro Safe utility available for the switch model. If the given utility version supports your switch and version of Windows, you should be able to send the firmware updater (STK file) using the utility instead. As far as I remember the utility needs you to be on the same subnet to discover the switch.
