Windows 10: At last - updated from 1803 to 1903

On and off for the last couple of months I've been trying to update from 1803 to 1903. I've never been offered this update so downloaded the Media Creation Tool to try and do it manually. Everytime I ran it, it would tell me my PC is ok for it but then it would fail at the last moment.

I've been through many posts about possible solutions such as removing all unnecessary hardware but none of them would allow it to go through.

My OS is on an SSD which was cloned from an HDD not so long ago, so I put the HDD back in and booted from it and sure enough the 1903 update went through successfully. The HDD has all the same programs on it but Win10 was still at 1511. One difference I noticed apart from the main partition size being bigger was that the recovery paritition was also larger at 547Mbytes. On the SSD the recovery partition was 450Mbytes.

I increased the recovery partition size on the SSD to 737MBytes and lo and behold the 1903 update went through.

So for me the recovery partition was too small to allow the update, making it bigger worked.

Win 10 1803 to 1903 update

My Desktop computer running Win 10 updated from version 1803 to 1903 a while back, but my Desktop running Win 10 version 1803

I'm assuming the update 1803 to 1903 has now resumed after the earlier problems caused a suspension?

Any thoughts, suggestions?

 

Windows Home 10 update from 1803 to 1903

I have windows 10 x64 home edition, version 1803.

I'm trying to update it to the new onw, version 1903, but my pc freezes every time when the installation is going to finish (around 80%).

I tried to update the OS in different ways:

1. Start > Settings > Update
   & Security > Windows Update , and then select Check for updates.
   If updates are available, install them.
2. Download the Update Assistant
3. Download the Media Creation Tool 1903

The result is always the same.

No errors, only pc freezing.

What do you suggest to do?

 

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.
