Windows 10: Update not happening

My PC is frequently, every day or so, trying to update Windows 10. It gives me no option to refuse.

When it reaches about 56% the machine reboots and it restores my previous version. This has been going on for weeks. I am getting more than a little annoyed at the useless interruption in the middle of a busy working day.

Help and advice, please.

:)

Windows update not happening..

Hello,

See if this fix helps you:

Let us know if this helps, Good luck!

 

Donwload CU iso (available on Slow Ring Website or via MCT from 11th April), double click on it and run setup.exe.

 

Thank you, I will give it a go first thing tomorrow (GMT +8) and report back.

 

I am sorry but I can not find the download. I guess I will just have to wait until 11th April to locate MCT, whatever that is?

 

Nothing has changed. I downloaded from Download Windows 10 and as usual at 46% I get "Restoring your previous version of windows..."

 

Hi Arismac,

C >> Windows >> logs >> CBS >cbs ....

I hope that this is the file you need.

 

Just in case I got it wrong, here are all the files in that folder.

 

Did you take the first option 'Update now' or download the Media Creation Tool? If you downloaded the MCT, did you take its first option 'Update this PC'? If so, you are effectively running the same process as windows update has tried (and failed) on your PC.

The Media Creation Tool has just been updated to the Creators Update. Download the MCT and take the option to 'create media for another PC'. Use this to download the ISO, using the settings appropriate for this PC. Then double-click on the .iso file it creates to mount it as a virtual drive, then run the Setup you'll find there. You could, if you prefer make the USB install media. Again, from within windows find Setup on the USB and run it (you'll have to remember to remove the USB when the time comes for the first reboot, else you'll boot from the USB instead of continuing the upgrade).

This method of upgrading is often successful where windows update has problems.

 

No, the MCT was updated on the 5th. to version 15063. You can make CU media now (as I have done).

 

Now downloading to Flash Drive. I think the version currently installed is 10.0.10011.16506

Another fail I am afraid, again at 47% of updating. I got the following screen.

 

Hi there

Old idea but it used to cause a problem so have a look and see if any of these causing an issue.

1) Windows won't install if there are more than 4 partitions on your machine across ALL HDD's so remove any external USB drives

2) ensure target HDD has enough Free space for the install.

3) after Windows is installed you can then have as many partitions as you like

4) switch off secure boot and allow enable legacy boot -- always easier than that wretched secure boot nonsense.
