Windows 10: Anniversary update not showing up

Your device is up to date. Last checked: Today, ‏‎11:33 AM

I upgraded from 7 U to 10 Pro about a month ago, I appear to be running 1511, 10586.494
I haven't upgraded to any preview builds or anything.

I haven't seen any new updates since the 17th of july besides windows defender updates.
The "Anniversary update" Just isn't showing up, I want to try the new bash stuff since I'm a linux guy.

Any ideas?

:)

 

Hard drive not showing up after Anniversary Update

It seems that this is quite a popular problem. My recommendation would be to find a way to back the data up somehow if it's really important and then try to reformat the drive under an updated system and restore the backup and see if
the drive works properly. Otherwise you need to wait for an answer from MS if this issue can be fixed and how.

Can you
assign a drive letter in Disk Management without formatting the drive?

Hard drive not showing up after Anniversary Update

If you need the data from the drive you could try booting a Linux OS from a flash drive and see if you can get the data off the drive and then simply format it under the new OS and continue using the drive.

If you are already running Ten then best bet could be to do a clean install of the Anniversary Edition. If you really want to go down the upgrade route then that option is available as well via the bootable install media.

Using the media creation tool is the best option:

Windows 10 - Upgrade Installation - Windows 10 Forums

and for clean install:
Windows 10 - Clean Install - Windows 10 Forums

 

I think that if you updated less than 30 days ago then the update won't be offered through Windows update until 30 days have elapsed. If your move from 7 to 10 was about a month ago then you might just be on the cusp. Could use the MCT as suggested or maybe give Windows update a few more days to send it your way

 

I can't do clean install, It would take me a month to get all my settings back in place and re-install all the software I use (lots of expensive software) (Exactly as long as the last time, so I'm not exaggerating), I would also not be able to effectively run my business in that time. Clean install is a disaster at this time.
I have about 5 days till the one month mark.

 

I'm also not seeing the AU/Anniversary Update yet but some things I've read suggest waiting a bit. I've downloaded the .iso files, 32-bit and 64-bit, but not in a hurry to do the update. I have a separate computer running the latest Insider Preview which I understand is pretty close to the AU.

 

I used media creation tool to upgrade to version 1607. Any PC's running 1511 this is the way to go if you don't want to wait.

 

I am really starting to think that getting it from Windows Update is broken now. I have tried it on 2 VMs and 2 PCs and on each it never found it no matter how many times I hit check for updates. Neither machine was on a domain or deferring updates. Only 1 was running the 10240 version but the other 3 1511 version. In the end I just downloaded the ISO and ran it from there on all 4 machines.

 

It seemed to show up for me after running wushowhide utility

 

No, not broken. The Anniversary Update is being rolled out in phases, newest machines first. See this thread from a few days ago...
How long do I have to wait for AU to be seen by windows update

 

I also have yet to receive the AU but considering the number of problems that have been associated with it, it seems prudent to keep waiting.

 

Wise... of course you can try it and roll back (within 10 days) if 1607 doesn't work for you, but if the update or roll back goes horribly wrong, you may be in tears regretting you hadn't started to use disk imaging routinely before the upgrade. (e.g. Macrium Reflect (free) ).

Pro users can defer upgrades of course.

 

Home users can defer using wushowhide once the upgrade has been "offered" through WU

 

So if I have Windows Update set to automatic is it just going to install it without giving me a choice? Don't think I want that to happen!
