Windows 10: Windows 10 installation freezing after first reboot

No i haven't , i will look into it, thanks for the link.

 

@Axington Well, I am back. It's been about 6 hours, and I don't see a response yet - that can't be a good sign....am I right?

 

You're very welcome. Let us know how it goes.

 

Yeah, even with catalyst control center removed it's still crashing. I'm really dumbfounded at what I can do at this point.

 

Oh my goodness! This is a stubborn system, eh? *Wink

Okay, let's do this: Grab Ccleaner (Free version), install it, and save to text file a copy of your installed programs. Post the file here, and we'll have a look to see if there is anything that appears to be blocking the install, just to rule that out.

Select TOOLS on the left, and you'll see a link at the bottom right to save to text file.

 

This is what I got from the text file:

Looks pretty clean to me, except for that AMD Catalyst Install mgr. and of course, Speccy.

You could try uninstalling that (through Ccleaner), and try the upgrade once more.

-- You are upgrading using an ISO from the media creation tool right? Want to try downloading an ISO from MS TechBench?

Failing that, probably the best thing to do is back up all your data, wipe the drive, clean install your W7 OS, and upgrade from that. Do you have your W7 install media to accomplish that?

 

I'm wondering why all those foreign .NET Frameworks are doing on there. You are using U.S. English version, yes? I see you're showing an American flag.

 

You think it's a language pack issue @HippsieGypsie?

 

Not to worry about the files; the vast majority of them are on the other hard drive which i currently have detatched, making them effectively backed up, and what files I do have on here I put on google drive.
I'm going to do it when I go to bed again this time, so for now, I can only cross my fingers. I got rid of speccy and the catalyst install manager.
Is there some way to set it up to have fast reboot disabled by default when I install it? Now that I have that ISO folder? That just might fix the problem, if I can do that.
And yes, I still have the installation disc around here somewhere. I'm sure I can get it if I need it.

 

Okay, everything is backed up - good.
Hippsie is wondering why you have all those different language .NETs installed? Perhaps you should uninstall them as well. That could be hanging things. Just leave the US English on.

No, Fast Startup is enabled by default. You have to get the OS installed before you can change that.

Good - we may need it....

 

Yes. Unless you installed a language pack, Axington, they shouldn't be on there. Probably wise to uninstall all but the US English as simrick stated.

Again, good luck.

 

The reason I have all of those different language .NET frameworks is because when I first installed the os on this pc the get windows 10 app wouldn't appear, and I was told I had to get certain updates. I for a while was just installing every update available just trying to get the app to appear. But obviously now that I'm at this point I can remove them, so I will if that could be causing the issue.

 

Okay, yes, please uninstall them. They could be hanging the update as well.

We will wait for your report in the morning. *Smile

 

I wasn't able to start the install last night due to technical difficulties, so I'm just going to do it now. I'll report back later today.
