Windows 10: Feature update to Windows 10, version 1703 Failing at 32%

so just like the creators update which ive previously not had any success installing. i gave up and went about my daily use of my computer. now the feature update 1703 is being forced upon me and have no way of holding it off..

it to is also failing at 32% just like i had issues with the creators update freezing at 32%. the update is being downloaded and installed via windows update.

im currently running 1607
OS build : 14393.1715 (64bit)

i feel this time it will be different as i wont be able to hold it off. so far ive only done the update 2 times. and the second time i tried the disconnect all USB's which never worked. im in a desperate need to get past this so i continue working. anyone got any tips ???

:EDIT:
WindowsUpdateClient Event ID 20

I got this error code today, trying to install Feature update to Windows 10, version1703. It froze at 32% and ultimately failed.

Hi Dibbz.

Do you know the specific KB number being downloaded. If so you can manual download from catalog. Once you have I would enter BIOS and disable secure boot and Fast Boot (if they are there, names maybe be slightly different.)

Then disconnect from network and at command prompt(admin) enter



Net stop wuauserv
Net stop bits

Next double click the file you downloaded. After it installs reboot.

Did you ever run sfc /scannow and did it report anything.

We have this tutorial on resetting Windows Update.

Reset Windows Update in Windows 10

The above process will likely clear your update history, no big deal but didn't want a surprise.

Next thing you sould try is an inplace repair / upgrade. If you download media creation tool today it will create a USB key with 1703 on it. Again have secure boot disable and fast boot disabled in bios. I would be disconnect from Internet and skip getting updates until your update is successful.

I always recommend have your data backed up off machine and to be really prudent create an image with a tool like Macrium Reflect.

it does not give a KB number. it just simply says this




im just wondering what it could be and why its failing.. i dunno if this relates to me not having the creators update or what not. but yeah its hindering productivity.

 

This error code has been around for previous version too. Here's a typical thread...
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...2-fde7015d9b13

In addition to Ken's suggested reset of windows update, sfc/scannow, dism/restorehealth and running the Windows Update troubleshooter were suggested.

 

Below the line showing download progress please click on history. Does it give more information in the history about the failing update.?

 

except its not reporting an error code.. the update downloads fine. i got that error code form event viewer. the problem is that when you begin the restart sequence for installing the update it goes through the process it restarts twices before getting to 32% and then the circle freezes and hard drive activity goes quiet.

sfc /scannow reports everything is fine and dism is currently scanning right now..

:EDIT:

DISM has successfully completed its opperation.

 

noo. it shows no failed updates what so ever.

 

Okay, disable secure boot and fast boot in BIOS, please.

 

just a quick question tho. would it be better advised to update to the creators update ??? or should this feature update work just fine with 1607 ??

 

Myself, I think this is the Creators update. I'm unaware of any feature updates being loaded into older Versions, security and fixes yes, features no.

Others may disagree.

Ken

 

Basically yes, unless you have Pro and Defer updates turned on. In that case 1511 will be getting the features update to Anniversary Update (1607) at present. I tested that here.

 

well I've just tried someone else's suggestion to use the upgrade assistant which I did and failed again. it froze at. 32% and refused to move. so I'm. currently waiting for things to revert. so if clean booting did not do the job I will attempt your method tho I'm honestly not confident anything will work now.

im back on now and in the update history its now showing that its failed to install updates.

:EDIT:

btw. bit confused on how exactly you would go about upgrading via the ISO.. ive got a big enough memory stick. and can defo put another ISO on it. but i thought this was primarily for fresh installs and recovery. im guessing it would act just the windows 10 update from 7 in that you hit upgrade and it gives you the option to keep files or what not.

 

Go to the Microsoft Media Creation tool. Download and execute tool. Walk through panels to create USB key.

(Keep this version of the Media Creation tool and label it V1703. In the future execute it and it will download 1703. When the fall update comes out download that media creation tool. It will download the new version.)

Enter BIOS and disable Secure boot and Fast Boot.

Plug in USB key, navigate to setup.exe, double click. The in place update will start.

Yes the USB can also be used to clean install, boot from it.

Back up data before updating, safety first.
