    Win 10 update hangs after default install channge


    Hello,


    I had a clean install of Win 10 on small SSD. Added large HDD as D drive. Installed only a couple of primary programs on C. At someone's suggestion I changed default location of programs by changing registry to point to D. Everything worked exactly as I wanted except Windows will now not update. If I try to run update manually, it states that only a handful of my programs will be included after update is complete (or something like that). I've since learned that Microsoft does not recommend or support this change to registry. My question is - can I simply return the registry values to default to C drive and update will work? I don't wont to create additional issues so I would appreciate knowing the best path to move forward. I am hoping that I do not have to reinstall the many programs that I installed on D drive. Also not sure that I have room to install all of them on my 128GB SSD.


    Thank you,

    Joe W

    :)

    Win 10 update hangs after default install channge

    Windows Update suddenly hangs?

    Windows Update is suddenly hanging for some reason... I went and downloaded and installed the first bunch of updates, restarted when asked, and now when I go back to windows update I just get the window with a white box forever. Reboot and it still does it. This happens to be on my main machine, running windows 7.

    I've also noticed when I reboot it says configuring windows update, step 3 of 3, 47%. Maybe it somehow skipped something and is screwed forever?
