Windows 10: Windows 10 build 1803 update tool problem

Hello,


I performed an upgrade install from Windows 7 pro to Windows 10 in 2015, I wanted to rebuild my system from scratch with the latest build (1803) via the Media Creation Tool. When I try to run the tool, I get the error "There was a problem starting Setup...", I have read different approaches that have been tried so far I have not been successful in getting the tool to work.


I have tried:

-checked permissions and compatibility settings of the Windows update tool

-renaming the $Windows_BT and Windows.old folders

-uninstalling anti-virus and malware programs

- running troubleshooter on Windows Update, repairing the database, installing all updates, and installing build 1803

- deleting the contents of Windows/SoftwareDistribution/Download


From the different threads I have parsed, there are some services that must be enabled for the update tool to work, I planned to try that next.


Are there any log files generated by Windows 10 or the update tool that would help diagnosing the problem?

:)

 

Next Major Windows 10 Update Named "Spring Creators Update"

The next Windows 10 service pack major update has been named "Spring Creators Update." Windows Insider Program users toying with Build 17618 of the operating system spotted a listing of all the major updates of Windows 10 known to the build, when running "Get-VMHostSupportedVersion" in Power Shell. The last entry reads "Microsoft Windows 10 Spring Creators Update 1803." The version number (1803 in this case), often coincides with the public release date of the update. The Fall Creators Update 1709, released in 2017-09 (September) to Insiders. Going by that convenion, Spring Creators Update could see a "branded" Insider preview build this month, 2018-03 (March), with a public release usually 3-4 weeks after, presumably before Summer kicks in.

 

Windows 10 April 2018 Update(SCU) Partially Breaks MKV File Support?

Yeah, they play perfectly fine.

Thanks, this did the trick perfectly!

I'm scratching my head then, because so far every computer I update to 1803, even fresh installs, can no longer read the details of mkv files. But at least icaros fixes the problem for now. Hopefully the bug is fixed in Windows natively eventually.

 

Windows 10 update being enabled.
