    Creators Update - was preparing yesterday but not installing today


    So yesterday I get notification from my Windows 10 64 bit Home, that the Creators update was getting ready for me . It gave me some selections to choose, which I did. Then it asks if I wanted to schedule a time, which I did - 8:00 am this morning.

    This morning came and went, and I do not have the update. It appears it has downloaded something, as my C drive reduced in available disc space by about 5gb.
    When I right click the windows icon on lower left, and choose the shutdown selections, I have:
    Shutdown.
    Update and Shutdown.
    Restart.
    Update and Restart.

    However, choosing Update and Shutdown, or Update and Restart, just results in a simple shutdown or restart.

    Am I missing something here, or is MS just going to do the update thing to this update when it is good and ready rather than when I select it to?

    I don't mind being patient as I really am in no rush to get this update, but figured if it was time as MS seemed to think it was yesterday, and I had some time today I would go ahead and let it do it's thing.

    Thanks for any tips,

    :)

  2. WMDC sync worked yesterday, but not today

    Hi, I'm wondering if you managed to get your HTC to sync? If yes, how did you do it? I have a HTC-Dopod 838pro which was syncing fine with WMDC up until Feb this year. Now all I get is this ugly red cross in the WMDC screen. Tried everything - even reset
    laptop to factory original. Nothing worked.

  3. WMDC sync worked yesterday, but not today

    I tried the office diagnostics but everything is working. I think the problem started right after Vista SP1 installed. Now what?



    thanks

    Creators Update - was preparing yesterday but not installing today

    Ok got it figured out. Went to updates and security, and in there it showed the update was scheduled for 8:37 pm this evening - could have swore I changed it yesterday to 8:00 am this morning.
    Anyway it gave me an option from within there to go ahead and install it, so I selected that and it has installed and just finished.
