Windows 10: Manual Update to 1511

My PC has so far still not downloaded the big November update. *cry Windows Update seems to be doing its stuff though, as it is still finding small updates to apply on a regular basis. One problem though - it regularly finds, and fails to install update KB3081704. This is the update for the free DVD player, which Windows update already installed way back in July! Anyhow, I'm wondering if it is this failure that is somehow causing Windows to avoid the big update.

So - I know you can install the latest and shiniest version of Windows via the Media Creation Tool, but is there anyway to do this without losing all my installed programmes and settings?

Cheers,

1511 update rollback

You should be able to run Windows Update manually a re-install version 1511.

(Click Start / Settings / Update and security / Check for updates)

Note: It may take a day or 2 but you should get the 1511 update without having to create any media to install it manually.

.NET Framework 1.0 updates install every day

That's ok if you've had the 1511 update. I've not had it. I did the manual Windows update fix as recommended on another thread but I still get one instance of each .net update everyday and no 1511 update. Why?

 

You can download 1511 and mount the ISO. From there run the setup and that will perform the upgrade and you'll keep everything.

 

Thanks - I'll give that a go over the weekend.
