Windows 10: [update to 10061] Need help urgently

It takes so long for the update, it ran for 3 hours now but still in 23%. I think that it is because I have lots of files in C drive that it has to move them away before the installation and move them back. I want to delete some of my unused files to make the process more faster. How can I stop the installation and delete my files? Thank you so much.

Auto upgrade for Beta systems?

10061 is at best ancient. Current build is 10240. You need to upgrade to qualify

 

Need HELP urgently ...cannot get my computer to open

Hello Arthur,

I request you to perform a startup repair for Windows 10 and get back to us with the issue which you have.



You may download the Windows 10 ISO and create a Media Creation tool and then perform Startup Repair.



Refer to the following link:

Download Windows 10

(Refer to the section "Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool
" in the above article for creating the tool).



Once you have the installation media, follow the steps:

• Start your computer from the installation media. Insert the disk or USB stick and restart your computer. If you see a message asking you to “Press any key to boot from DVD,” do so. If you don’t see the message, you might need to
  change the boot order in your computer's BIOS settings so that it first starts from the disk or USB. When you see the 'Install Windows' page, tap or click 'Repair your computer' link to start the Windows Recovery Environment.
• In the Windows Recovery Environment, on the Choose an option screen, click 'Troubleshoot'.
• Click, ‘Advanced Options’ and then click on 'Startup Settings' and select ‘Restart’.
• After this complete the repair and see if you are able to boot in to your computer.

Refer the link for reference:

Anyone can help please. It is 31% now.

 

It's always slow at 3%, 30% and 75% but it jumps faster in between. Just hang in there. If you go back you will just start the clock for another 3hrs or so.

 

It is 98% now, the installation ran for more than7 hours, I want to know if clearing space in C drive like removing applications help speed up the process?

 

Help!!! Scanning and repairing drive (C*Smile: 56 % complete. what is this!

 

Apparently, Your drive C: is corrupted and that would also cause the download to slow down. And now, Windows is doing a chdsk and repair, you just have to be patient and let it finish, don't touch it. It might take a while for chkdsk to complete.

 

Okay, it is finally done but with a few problems:
1. Start won't open
2. Project Spartan won't start
3. Youtube video won't play
I will restart my computer to test

 

Open Admin command prompt and run:

• dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
• sfc /scannow

 

The problem is solved and thank you so much!

 

You're welcome
