Windows 10: Problems with Windows 10 Update KB4023057 -

Thanks for your thoughts, guys. When this thread began her version was up to date (post 4) but now I see that there have been two updates since



All along we thought the install was hanging on Upgrade to 1703 or 1709 but it may now be these two updates. She took a look at the Repair Upgrade process, one problem was locating a 1607 ISO so we agreed it would be best to manually try 1803 when it comes out.
I agree the best course now is to let these updates take upon next startup and see where that takes us at that point.

 

This 3rd-party tool from HeiDoc generates links to download any ISO version direct from Microsoft.

Yessterday, 2/22/18. Screen popped up while I was working, stating your updates are ready to install now"!!!!!! This morning 2/23/18 had to turn computer on from "sleep" with "restoring previous version of Windows" after several "start up black screens" The GREMLINS ARE GROWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE EVERYTHING EITHER BLOCKED OR DISABLED, OR MANUAL.

 

Do you see the Update Assistant on your Desktop? If so, you may have had updates KB4023814 and KB4023057. Their effect is to install the Update Assistant (and reinstall if you remove it), then repeatedly trigger it to get you to update. They do not appear in the list of installed updates and they cannot be uninstalled. Their effects however can be undone.

Windows keeps installing "Windows 10 Update Assistant" every day

 

Yes, and opened. On previous version window Windows 10 update modified 2/3/18 and 2/1/18. I was instructed to clean out the installed updates vrs. hide. So, can't go there. My build is still the 14393. I will try the block windows 10 now

 

Keli, do you have a data backup?

I ask as all this installing and falling back might result is something undesirable happening.

I would create a backup of your data at your earliest opportunity.

Have you tried the in place repair / upgrade process? (Sorry I'm being lazy and not reading back.)

 

PROGRESS IS BEING MADE. YESTERDAY /2/23 install and restart: getting windows ready. 32% complete, black screen, 100% COMPLETE. BLACK SCREEN WITH WHITE BOX UPPER LEFT LEFT CORNER WITH MESSAGE OF “personalized settings not responding. Now in my brain should be an easy fix. I do not know build I have now. Busy today with baby shower followed by a wake but wanted to get the news out.

 

Excellent.... you still need data back up.

 

How do I do personalize the settings? I have data for programs backups at CARBONITE and additional back ups on usbs.

 

"100% COMPLETE. BLACK SCREEN WITH WHITE BOX UPPER LEFT LEFT CORNER WITH MESSAGE OF “personalized settings not responding. Now in my brain should be an easy fix. I do not know build I have now."

Thanks for updating us on your situation. I think interrupting an Update at start is what caused all these things but I'm assuming after 100% Complete and restart that all looks normal now ?

To see what build you're up to, hit Win+R, type winver then OK. Refer to chart in post 44. I highlighted the build you were on two weeks ago and the update, if 1607, should bring you to top build, 14393.2097. That should tell us where you stand now.

As far as the 'personalized settings not responding', it seems this is a Windows Explorer issue that happens after some Updates but if it went away and went to your normal desktop, you're good. You should not see this on next restart but if you do, here are some easy things to try- disconnect any external usb drives (may be trying to retrieve settings from your backup), Alt+ctrl+del/Sign out or Restart, or hold power button down until everything off then power up again. Running sfc /scannow in a Command prompt worked in this instance - Personalized Settings is stuck

 

I did a restart and still have ......2068 so no new update.
