  1. Unable to Update Windows 10 - PC keeps freezing on Restart


    Custom-built PC

    Windows 10 Version 1703 currently installed


    IntelR CoreTM i5-7500 CPU @ 3.40GHz

    16.0 GB Installed Ram

    64-bit operating system, x64-based processor


    I have been unable to update Windows 10 since I bought this system. Every time I attempt to, the update begins and will always freeze partway through. I'm forced to do a hard restart at this time where it will continue trying to update and freeze again. This will happen repeatedly until it will revert back to the previous settings and undo the update. Occasionally the update will get all the way to 100% but will still freeze before the update is fully installed.


    I have run the Update Troubleshooter to no avail, and have tried all the fixes suggested in this thread as well: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...g/f0a49a22-cf1e-4c42-8cee-8ad865125fa0?auth=1 I have taken the unit to a repair shop where they recommended a fresh install of Windows 10, but I'd prefer not to do that if I don't have to.


    Any other suggestions?

    :)

    Windows keeps freezing up

    Hi Brian,

    If your computer is freezing, it could due to the operating system being outdated, or that some applications in your system is causing it to freeze, etc. For us to isolate the issue about Windows 10 freezing, kindly respond to the questions below:

    • When does Windows 10 hangs/freezes? Is it after logging in to Windows? Or is it when you are using an application?
    • Are there any third-party applications installed on your computer?
    • Did you upgrade to Windows 10 from a previous version of Windows? If yes, which version of Windows was previously installed on your computer?

    As a first troubleshooting step, we suggest that you check if there are updates that are waiting to be installed on your computer. If there are, kindly install them and restart your computer. After restarting, check if Windows 10 still freezes. Here's how
    to check for updates in Windows 10:

    • Press the Windows key + I to open the
      Settings
      app.
    • From Settings, select Update & security >
      Windows Update
      , then select Check for updates.

    We look forward to an update from you.
