Windows 10: How can I download the Windows 10 Anniversary Update?

Can someone tell me how or if I can download the Anniversary Update without having to wait?

Is it available yet through the Media Creation Tool?

Thanks!

:)

 

How can I stop the download of Anniversary upgrade, already in progress in windows 10?

Bought a brand new computer. On day 2 of using it automatically started installing the 10 update. It's been 6 1/2 hours and only on 32%. Seriously? Is this normal?

 

How can I stop the download of Anniversary upgrade, already in progress in windows 10?

if could see when updates were available this would be a wonderful idea but Microsoft decided not to let us see them UNTILL IT'S TOOOOO LATE!!! My machine got the update and after 16 hours I decided to restart... well that only led to "this will continue
the update"... after another 6 hours I decided to try again and this time I was pressing the ESC button a few times and it came back saying "Attempting to reinstall original software" (or something to that tune.

I liked it when Microsoft would allow US to allow the updates not the current Windows 10 process.

 

Yes it is.

Okay, thanks. Just making sure I wasn't downloading the old version.

 

Just downloaded and used the latest MC Tool and received the 14393 build version 1607 iso. Immediately performed a clean install via VMware Workstation 12 Player indicating the 14393 is the designated Redstone 1 build 1st Anniversary update Insiders already have on. This is the general release version however. Also why the Windows Upgrade Advisor indicated the latest was already on.

Here's a look at the VM remotely being run on a second machine reserved for testing all builds.

 

Only problem that I am noticing with this update is that when the Start Menu opens, it opens too fast to where it looks as if it is choppy when opening it. I hope the word "choppy" makes sense. In other words, upon opening the Start Menu, it's not a smooth transition or flow.

Is there any way to make the opening of the Start Menu smoother?

 

I tried the update of Windows 10 64 bit Pro from version 10586 to version 10607, my system met all the requirements
but received the error 0x80070057.



Has any
one else had similar problems?

 

You're going from 10586 to 14393.10, not 10607. Did you use Windows update or the MCT, when you attempted it?

 

10 minutes ago. what MCT?

 

I down loaded Windows10upgrade28084.exe and ran it which is the update assistant and after it down loaded the update that was when I got the error 0x80070057

 

Problems with phantom Start buttons, vanishing and hidden Start menus, etc. generally only have one working solution! Unfortunately that takes a full clean install to resolve the inability of the 10 installer at times to fully unpack all necessary files and see them installed properly. I ran into this at times with an older OEM laptop while others ran into similar problems on their machines as well.

The same would seem required for you as well. WalterW But it isn't version 10586 but Build 10586 Version 1511 to the latest Build 14393.10 Version 1607 to get all that squared away. The MCT someone refers in initials only is the Media Creation Tool that MS has provided since 10 was first launched a year ago.

You first download the tool itself and then select one of the three options presented first being immediate online upgrade, second being create USB Media or USB Installation Key using a 4gb or larger usb flash drive, or last the option to save the "windows.iso" download of 10 locally to a folder on any partition or drive as you would any other download. Besides booting live from the usb media a few 3rd party apps allows for mounting the iso image file as a virtual optical drive for an inplace upgrade type install.

MCT is the Media Creation Tool. On my initial 3 workstations I got the update via Windows Update at 11 am PST once it went live, but at the same time downloaded the latest MCT so that I could do the rest of my computers manually to save time.

 

The MC Tool seen at that time replaced the MC Tool just seen for the Threshold 2 10586.494 some reporting 10586.499? while not listed among the builds released when researched any however at either of the MS Answers site Wiki threads for 10 builds. If you have previously downloaded and kept the MCTool you will want to rename either this one to RS1 or Redstone 1 Update MCTool.exe or the previous to TH2 or Threshold 2 MC Tool.exe to avoid any mixup between the two!

I have the older stashed away in a sub folder while this one sits at the root of a 10 ISO file folder I will be renaming for storing each. That will allow you to either redownload the older build for the same or other system if TH2 and not one of the Previews with a 6month later expired timeline. The 14366 builds for example still on a pair of VMs would expire on October 1st and have needed to either see the newer build or say good bye to VMs! *Doh*Roflmao2

 

I don't get the smilies here.
