Windows 10: Microsoft to fix Windows 10 bug that prevents updates

Windows 10’s Fast Startup, which is a feature that provides a faster boot time when starting up your PC, could prevent updates from installing properly. Fast Startup is a handy feature and it’s enabled by default to improve the overall performance of PCs.

When you shut down your computer, Windows 10’s Fast Startup saves an image of the kernel and driver. Fast Startup feature reloads the saved image of the kernel and driver and reduces boot time when you turn on your computer next time.

Leaving Fast Startup enabled shouldn’t break anything on your PC given the feature is baked into Windows 10, but Microsoft says that Windows 10 updates might not install properly or fail to install if you have this feature enabled on your device.

According to Microsoft, Windows updates could require pending operations to be processed during the next startup after full shutdown. The pending Windows Update operations won’t be processed when you have Fast Startup feature enabled.

“Without a full shutdown, those pending operations won’t be processed. As a result, these update installations will not complete. Full shutdown only occurs when you restart a computer or when other event causes the computer to process a full shutdown,” Microsoft said.

If Windows 10 updates are failing to install on your PC, you can disable Fast Startup and try again. If you’d like to see how your PC installs Windows update without Fast Startup enabled, you can disable it by following these steps:

• Open Windows Search
• Type Control Panel and select the result.
• Click Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do.
• In the next screen, click Change settings that are currently unavailable.
• Uncheck the first option “Click Turn on fast startup (recommended)”.

After installing Windows Updates, you can re-enable Fast Startup at any point by simply repeating the steps mentioned above.

In an update to the support doc recently, Microsoft confirmed that it has plans to address Windows 10 update problems when you have Fast Startup enabled.

“There are plans to address this in a future Windows version,” the company said.

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

Windows 10 KB3213986 Update Cripples Multi-monitor Gaming

This should be enough to get the conspiracy theorists suggesting that Microsoft is intentionally crippling multi-monitor support in fullscreen mode since games sold on the Microsoft Store all work in the pseudo-fullscreen mode...

Or it could just be an idiotic bug that will be fixed in time.
