    I get "system thread exception not handled" error when finishing the Windows 10 Anniversary Update

    Hi Kate&Andy.,

    There are Avast drivers loaded during the crash so try uninstalling Avast, run the update then reinstall Avast or use Windows build-in antivirus (Windows Defender) and firewall.

    Edit:

    Looks like other users are reporting issues with Avast such as here so if you get the Anniversary Update installed wait for Avast to issue a fix or defer the
    upgrade until the issue is fixed.

  3. Windows 10 Anniversary Update Failed to Install

    I have yet to uninstall Avast. However, my system was able to successfully install the most recent Windows security update. In spite of this, the Anniversary Update still fails. It seems that Windows Update works fine for smaller updates, but not for major
    ones. Will report back as soon as I retry installing the Anniversary Update after uninstalling Avast.

    Looks like Avast have release an updateto tackle the problem. My secondary hdd has Avast on it so many thanks for the headsup Borg - may have saved many a blue scren.

    The emergency update was already released for Avast 12.2.2276


    It is safe now to perform a clean installation using the on-line installer on Skylake CPUs running Windows Anniversary Update.
