Windows 10 update stalls and fails to install.

I have an issue with Feature update to Windows 10, version 1703. It stalls out and does not complete. It failed to install on 9/16 and 10/3. However Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 (KB4023057) successfully installed on 10/3/17. I am confused as to
why there is a difference of versions 1607 and 1703? Is 1703 an update of 1607? If so why does 1703 continually stall and not complete?

Windows 10 updates

I have windows 10 Home 1703 Version that is not updating windows, with information that updates not completed and undoing the installation after several restarts.

The updates are

2017-06 Cumulative update for windows10 Version 1703 (KB 40227250) and

2017-06 Security update for Adobe Flash Player for Windows 10 Version 1703

Can somebody help me with this?

 

Now, when you uninstall in-box apps—like Mail, Maps, and the like—they will not be automatically reinstalled when you perform an OS upgrade. << Like that *Smile

The PIN entry pad you see at sign-in will now let the number keys on your keyboard work even if the NUM LOCK key is disabled at the time. << Sounds good, but every time I do an upgrade my login gets switched to password. *Mad

Windows 10 configures networks as public by default, which can disrupt connectivity with other devices on your network, including NAS storage. To fix this, be sure to change the network type to private. << Don't like that at all. *Sad

 

Hope it's just fraction of things to come, most of it is already implemented in insider version. Update delivery has to be seriously updated. Right now updates for phones are in big trouble and other ones wait for long time too. My Lumia is sitting on Downloading updates on0% two days already and it's acknowledged that there is a problem.

 

Maybe file explorer finally with tabs?

 

Or dual pane ?

 

I already have that*Smile
And bookmarks!

 

Maybe I should try that out, but I find it strange that it's not already standard in FE. I tried QTTabBar, but each time I open FE the tabs were gone and I had to re enable it.

 

We just need to be patient, they are slooooowly starting to add stuff users have been begging years for, like virtual desktops, that Linux users have had for years, and a very basic API code, for it, has been a part Windows for a long time, just not implemented with a UI.

 

From Paul Thurrott's Field Guide:

... except Edge and Cortana.
Surprised the Store doesn't get re-installed automatically!

 

Probably because Cortana IS search, and Edge IS Explorer now, which are (beginning to be)part of File Explore now.

 

I'm thinking they are referring to Apps uninstalled via normal measures, the ones that actually give you an uninstall option. Not Apps you'll removed via powershell scripts etc. Store for me has the uninstall option greyed out. Edge isn't listed at all in Settings > Apps & features. Cortana isn't listed either but that may be because I'm running the Education version, it doesn't have Cortana.

 

Not completely. Cortana and search-ms are still two separate CLSID's

Probably because they are System Apps and not 'Boxed' Apps.

 

Yeah, the Education version has Search, but no Cortana.
