Windows 10: 1803 - 1809 Desktop corrupt, cannot repair even after Win 10 re-install

had 1803, tried to update to 1909 on my SP4 but kept getting failures. Went to the MS website and installed the latest build. All went through fine but my desktop is totally corrupt when using the SP4 screen or external. Icons overlayed, cant move them around the screen. In File Explorer I can see the Desktop folder complete with shortcuts, files and folders.

On my desktop when I hover over an icon I get a highlighted area about 10 times the width of the icon, but same depth.

I have restarted computer many times, no change. Created a new test profile, the desktop there is as expected.

Lots of troubleshooting including deleting icon.db, DISM, SFC etc... restarting and still the same.

Checked for updates, nothing. Switched to Windows Insider faster build and checked for updates, nothing available.

Eventually decided to go to MS website and re-install Windows 10, all went through fine but desktop is still corrupt.

I really dont want to do a fresh install.

SP4 BLD 1809 OS 17763.1

Windows 1809 Started the install on Surface Pro 4 but it stopped and the update screen closed by itself.

It started the download of 1809 and I walked away. Came back twenty minutes later and the update page was no longer open. Tried update again and it said it's updated.

It didn't complete the update or state the RESTART NOW.

Update history lists 1809 and states RESTART REQUIRED but since it didn't complete the install restarting does nothing.

So it thinks it's installed the 1809 update but it hasn't. It won't download 1809 again.

ABOUT say's it is 1803.

Suggestions?

 

Skip 1803 and get 1809.

Hi SageHalo2983128,

Yes if you can manage to block 1803, when 1809 is released you can go straight to that version, there is no requirement to have 1803 to get 1809 . ..

 

Windows 10 ISO 1803 and 1809 stuck at 4% or14% installation! Updates in Win 10 Pro X64 freezes!

I try to upgrade from 1709 to 1809 direkt is that possible?

Tried all solutions to upgrade inplace with MCT, USB stick,

btw. clean install with 1803 ISO from deskmodder.

But all fail and stuck, hang and freez the system every time i try

to upgrade, to 1803 or 1809.

It treat on updates and specialy cumulative updates my system like

a virus.

Startmenü beginn to hang, explorer crash on updates nothing goes

anymore Hardreset is the only solution and deactivating updates over

gpedit and services.

Have no chance to update or upgrade Win 10 Pro on my desktop specs:

I5 3570K Watercooler, Raid 0 Stripeset with 2x SSDs and

GA-H77-DS3H Gigabyte MB, 32GB RAM DDR 3 at 1333Mhz.

Made also a Bios reset! My Bios is the newset F10 from year 2013.

that Gigabyte make at last but no support anymore for that MB.

I phoned to Gigybyte and they say H77 Chip is not official supportet

from Windows 10!

But all tests before i upgrade to windows 10 in year 2015 suggest

your hardware is compatible. Lifetimeplan from Windows 10 is real

cracy thing. Older HW has no chance anymore! Force us to buy new

PC`s!!!

Checked all HW with ultimate boot cd. Try to repair the system over

DISM Restore Health, chkdsk /f /r, try repair Windows updates over

troubleshooting tools, SFC scannow etc...

Made a msconfig start only with ms services, switched to admin account

tried also to solve it there, but no chance. Deinstalled Avast.

Delete C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and delete all the

files. Reboot download all updates again and again! Freez and Fail!

Update assistant from MS website fails, too. Sympthom is it start downloading

but as soon it is downloadet and try to install systemfreez at 4 - 10 - 16 %.

Today i clean my PC inside from the dust it was not so much normal. Make

tests with ultimate boot cd checked Ram an HW checks are all o.k.!

Is my MB Chip H77 not supported anymore on Win10 with 1803 & 1809?

I tried to find or get more informations about it? Or is there a problem with

windows 10 support on my older Ivy Bridge CPU 3570K?

Why this is such a pain in the ass for me and my desktop maschine? Real #

make me mad inside!

I real pissed off from Windows 10 Updates now on my desktop, because

nothing helps. I tried all things & a clean install also with 1803.

Clean install stuck with 1803 on 14% hangs and freez my system

unbelivable! Stucking all the time with updates and clean install.

Tried also other ISO`s. Same story!

But if i restore my backup with win 10 pro 1709 Build 16299 last

build all is good so long as i don`t make any updates or feature-

upgrades. Real strange, it sucks so much!

With my Acer Laptop second PC, no problems with I7 Skylake

Processor no problems at all to upgrade or update same system

Win 10 Pro x64 1803.

Updates runs on Laptop without problems it have a newer chipset

and HW config also DDR4 16GB, M.2 SSD.

WTF is wrong with Win 10 Updates on my desktop workstation

machine?

That no updates anymore installable without freez the Windows 10

Pro X64 System i have an desktop? :-/ If i make no updates all works!

No freezes or anything.

Stupid Updates on Windows 10 **** only my hole HW and Maschine!

Drivers are all up to date!

Any suggestion or help or information that help to solve my problem

are very welcome.

Peace

Olaf
