Windows 10: Strange Feature Update keeps appearing in x86 version.

I am clean installing W10 x86 for a friend (2Gb RAM Toshiba Satellite Notebook) and I keep getting this weird failed update.









I sort of gave up in disgust as it has had more than one attempt and keeps failing and am now installing the x64 flavour. Will see how that goes.

Any ideas what it is ?

This is the text:
15063.2.rs2_release_svc_d.170531-1743 (UUP-CTv2)

Removing or keeping x86 version

Hi Enrico,

To ensure that all the programs on your Surface Book Pro will work properly, we recommend that you keep everything that has been installed.

Best regards.

 

Removing or keeping x86 version

On my Surface Book Pro with Windows 10 I have the following software installed:

• IIS Express Application Compatibility Database for x86,
• IIS Express Application Compatibility Database for x64;
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable,
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable;
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable x86,
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable x64;
• Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Manager Objects,
• Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Manager Objects (x64).

Question: Do I need both, or could I remove the x86?

Thank you in advance for your reply!

 

One thought- complete the installation without updates. Then create a disk image, then try the updates.

If still problems, two other things to research:
a. 0x800b0109
[Solved] Windows Update error - 0x800B0109
(extremely old) - BITS

b. Some update files aren't signed correctly.

 

Thanks *Smile

I offered to do this for a friend and expected zero problems tbh. That was around 6 attempts back. You know me and updates... I've got the Tshirt for that one.

I did an update of the basic install but I have to go online to pick up the graphics driver (I know I could hunt and download it I guess).

I'm part way through the x64 install install now, and I have to go out as well. Lol, its been one of those days.

Oh, and the weather app isn't working on some of the installs.

I wonder if its worth creating a new USB install media.

 

Sounds like you were lucky it didn't install....

A note about the unintentional release of builds today

 

Thanks Bree. That kind of explains a lot *Smile Grrrrr. A day wasted trying to sort this out.
