Windows 10: Having problems with Windows Insider Build 10.0.18305.1003 (rs_prerelease) updating from an...

I'm currently using Windows 10 Pro Insider build 18282.rs_prerelease.181109-1613, and a popup keeps appearing which says "Your Windows version is going to expire soon. Please update to a newer version as soon as possible.", so I went to Windows Update in Setting and downloaded a newer version, after it finished downloading and installing, it told me to restart, after doing so It got stuck at "15% installed" at booting screen and then restarted once again, but this time it said "Undoing changes that were made to your computer." and restarted again, going back to the previous version of windows. I've tried installing several times but it does the same every time. Any help regarding to this problem? I'd simply just reinstall the Windows but I have a lot of apps installed but I don't want to bother reinstalling them, when they occupy more than 1TB of space. (excluding installation packages or other files)


Please, any help would be appreciated.

Windows Insider Builds: Cannot boot into Windows after 18298 Windows Update install fails

I hate "just don't do it" replies. They're not very helpful. Let's just tell everyone not to install 182XX builds then. Microsoft will love you for that.

I saw on another thread that 18305 is now available. I also saw that 18298 has been downloaded to my pc and is in a pending install state. I'm adjusting my active hours so it never installs. I want to know how to kill that pending install and go directly
to 18305. Hopefully someone knowledgeable will be able to answer that. Thanks.

I'm posting this for anyone who faces a similar situation in the future, Now THIS was helpful--after following the steps below 18305 installed and I was able to boot successfully.

1. Go into Task Manager, Services tab and Stop the Windows Update service.
2. Then delete the SoftwareDistribution folder
3. and restart.
4. It should then find the newer download for 18305.
