Windows 10: mct and clean install

On Dec 12 I used the Media Creation Tool and downloaded the file and did a clean install. It was the RTM 10240?
So I set up to be on the Fast Ring no real problem.
This morning Dec 14 it downloaded and installed TR2 and it was 10586. The files in file manager did not seem to be right.
Especially pictures. could figure out what was going on so I took the Image file created on the 12th right after reinstalling all files and programs etc. and am back to build 10240.
Is there a problem with file manager in the update that was installed? Is there a better way to get the latest ISO file and do an upgrade to what I have currently?
any instruction would be appreciated. I am sure that it is going to try and update again so I am using my 8.1 machine until I have a better solution.
Thanks

WiFi issues with Creators Update

The Media Creation Tool (MCT) can/should be used to upgrade Windows, in cases where network is unavailable, or in cases where clean installs are required.

Good luck with your plan. If it doesn't work, I still recommend MCT.

 

Can I change my Win10 DVD to a usb drive?

The only difference between a Recovery Drive and a standard reinstall media created using the the MCT are the following:

MCT - you can perform a repair upgrade and start the installation from within a running version of Windows

Recovery Drive - You can only perform a clean install.

 

Download the ISO from: Windows 10 Download - Tech Bench
and use this link to fresh install:

Thank you topgundcp I am in the process of downloading the file from techbench
did follow the second link but will go back and see what I have to do.
in the past I have used rufus to create the boot usb. will do the same here with this file?

Alternatively you can also use tools such as: Winzip, Winrar, 7-zip to extract the ISO file to the root folder of the USB without using Rufus.

BTW, if you use the procedure I posted. It is straight forward and you should not have any problem.

Good luck.
