Windows 10: Why does Microsoft continue to push out updates which have been failing since the beginning...

Microsoft Windows 10 Fall Creators Update Available Today

Oh dear they're still pushing that. I STILL don't like the metro tiles and stuff!

 

Update 1709 continually fails

My machine continually attempts to install 1709. It has failed (at least) 15 times in exactly the same place on the update process.

At 54% it tries to restart the machine and never comes back. I have left it alone for many hours (overnight in one case) to no avail. When I power down the machine to get something working, it proceeds to 82% and then hangs again.

ASUS does not have my computer on the list of machines certified for 1709 so no surprise it fails - shouldn't windows update be smart enough to check vendor lists before applying a fix?

I have done all the fix steps that have been logged in other threads (clean boot; disable all USB connections; update all drivers; run SC and DISM) including the ISO solution.

I am beginning to think that the only prudent upgrade step left to me right now either involves Linux or Mac OSX.

How can I stop windows update from doing it over and over again. This is extremely frustrating and borders on Einstein's definition of insanity.

 

Windows 10 fails to update


When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.
