Windows 10: 10041 Not Updating

I had to do a clean install of Win 10 preview and used a 10041 version. It is installed an working (I'm entering this from Win 10) but it will not update to newer versions.

I have it set for "Fast". There is no option to check for newer version.

Stuck on build 10041

So, A long time ago back on build 10041 I installed tech preview on my laptop. today I came back to this laptop haven't used it since

and I an unable to update from 10041 I am just getting a error(0x8024044a) when updating

 

How to: 10 Tips before installing the latest Windows 10

How did you initiate the install for build 10041, through Windows Update or using the .ISO file?

You should consider downloading build 10041 as a .ISO and create a bootable copy then do a custom install:

From my understanding you need to update to 10061 from build 10049 and not 10041. All the updates have to be done in order.

It won't update to any version. When I check for updates, it finds nothing.

 

I would think you need to do a clean instillation of 10049 and then update to 10061. Not surprised that you can't update 10041 since it's an older build.

 

That was the only version available from Microsoft to download, two days ago. The built in update application should be able to update. 10041 has not expired.

 

I have just directly updated from 10041 to 10061 without issue. So I don't think you need to have build 10049 to update to 10061 though.

 

Thanks for the info. Now if mine would just show an update. *Sad

 

I am now on 10061. I found a 10049 ISO, downloaded and installed it and after installation the updates found the 10061 update. It installed over night.

If I hadn't found the 10049 ISO I would still be stuck on 10041 until Microsoft issued an updated version.

 

I'm on the slow track, and still on build 10041.
There have been two attempted updates (automatic) that failed. The latest was, I think, 10071 (or something similar).
That came just now, tried to install twice, and failed, giving me a black screen. In the end I did a hard shut down, and got a message that the update had failed, and I had been restored to 10041.
What should I do? Where can I find the builds I am missing etc?

 

The new build is now 10074.

 

Yes, that's the one: .fbl_impressive 10074.
I just tried it again, it failed and told me it was error 0x80240017.
Any ideas as to what to do would be welcome

 

There are links here for the ISO to download and you can use that for an update or clean install.

Thank you BunnyJ. I've just put myself on the fast track, and also ticked the other Microsoft Products box.
Once again the update took ages to load, then asked me if I wanted to install.
It went to black screen again, so after waiting about 25 minutes, I did a hard shutdown.
I had to try several reboots, as the first couple froze, the little blue ring not going round, no response from any buttons etc.
These freezes necessitated more hard shutdowns, but I was getting worried, as I'm running this as my only OS.
I'm now back on 10041. I'm reluctant to try stuff, as I don't want to bork the whole pc.
Would you recommend I try and start over, re-install 10041, or try a newer build, 10074, and do a clean install?
Thanks very much for your input, John ;-)
