Windows 10: Installation of a Windows 10 Insider Preview Build repeatedly won't complete.

Is anyone else having problems with Windows 10 Insider Build 19564.1000 not completely installing? I started trying to Download and Install one of my Windows 10 Insider Builds a few days ago. I have been doing this usually weekly with no problem. But with this latest build, it downloads fine, but install stops at exactly 62%, and fails there. It has tried to install it 4 or 5 times, and each time has stopped at 62%. It is in an endless loop now, and every few days it tries to install it again on it's on. I would like to get it installed completely, if not I would like to know how to cancel this particular build update so that my Windows Update in Settings will reset back to normal. Please help! It will be appreciated.

Hello Simpson,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

We understand the inconvenience you have experienced.

From your description, I suspect that the problem might be due to unsuccessful installation of preview build caused this issue. Suggest you to check installing the build again to see if the same thing happens again. If you don't see the

Insider build previews

Because you are running a Windows Insider Preview build, you might be seeing defects or bugs in the build you are using, which is still under development. I suggest you use the Feedback Hub to submit a bug report detailing your problem.

You should only run Windows Insider Builds for testing purposes, not for production.

I recommend you revert to a commercial build such as the recently released Windows 10, 1803 revision.

Go to a working computer, download, create a bootable copy, then perform a clean install.

Windows 10 Insider Preview Build has never updated

I want to add this for anyone in the future that may come across this post.

I followed the advice of @Ramhound and the links he provided in the comments and created a new VM in Azure from the downloaded image of Build 14295, which was the closest available ISO build. I followed all the steps to connect my MS account to the VM for insider preivew. I changed my insider preview settings to Fast track. I even used my MS account to sign into the VM.

I checked the registry settings as suggested by this article and ensured everything there was correct. Even after all this, I still did not receive the 14316 build.

I diligently checked my machine multiple times per day. I manually checked for updates. I restarted the machine several times. I changed my settings to developer mode. Even after following all these steps, I still did not receive the build.

Finally! Today, after a week of waiting, I logged into the VM, and the build was there. I do not believe any of this extra work I did helped....but I did learn some stuff from this, so it was not a complete waste of time. I think I would have received the build if I would have just left my VM as it was and kept waiting.

tldr - From my experience, I think the best advice is to just be patient and wait. If you have waited a significant amount of time (2 weeks), then maybe look into the other solutions.
