Windows 10: Windows 10 installation process freezes at 32% and 6%

Anything non useful for the Upgrade, just to be on the safe side

 

I disabled all the Ricoh and a few others, the installation continues to stop at 32% this is insane. *Mad

 

I cannot guess anything else. Anyone with more knowledge that can tell from the report?

 

i kept thinking what would make the installation stops at 6%, at 6 % windows is copying the files to your hard disk, which makes me think it is a hard drive problem, do you have any spare HDD ? if you don't can you connect the hdd to another system and try to install windows on it?

 

If I remember correctly, it is at 32% of total and 6% of installing driver, so there shouldn't be a hard disk problem, but it doesn't harm to check your disk for errors if you can. If you encounter errors, try fixing them (this is usually possible when using a test utility from the disk manufacturer, such as WD Life Guard Diagnostics for WD disks and Seagate SeaTools for Seagate disks), provided there is not too much damage.

 

It's a brand new drive; I doubt there are errors. The problem is at when it's installing drivers as mentioned. *Mad

 

For me my Android phone was causing it to stick. Progress continued as soon as I unplugged it. No need to disable or unplug anything else for me. Of course Microsoft hates my Android phone. *Smile

 

I should plug in my Windows Phone maybe it will proceed *Smile

This is insane why this isn't working *Sad

 

As already said, disable anything that is not necessary for the upgrade and disconnect any external device (printer, USB Flash whatever).

 

try this, download the iso again, paste the files into usb flash memory, install from the flash memory

 

I'm trying to do an upgrade installation; what I want to do.

 

The ISO can also be used for an upgrade installation. Download it again, just in case the old one is corrupt and causing problems. Burn a fresh DVD or format the USB Flash drive and create it again, just to make sure.

 

It also works with the VGN-NS10L

 

Obvious SPAM above - of course the drivers from those sites work but what else do they do to your computer?
After a dozen Windows 10 build updates I just had one hang at 32% and 6% - with a USB stick inadvertently left in.
Success: retried with no USB stick, and using an ISO instead of retry via Windows Update = the install sitting at 32% - 6% for 10-15 minutes then continuing.
35% - 12% etc

 

You missed the point. The driver from the site didn't work so the guy "appluser" posted up the correct drivers that worked which he looked up elsewhere. I fell into the same trap with an eight year old Sony with a similar model number except a model earlier [VGN-NS10L, theirs was a VGN-NS11S]. Googling the driver I stumbled on the solution bless them. Saved me the work. Basically the laptop was in a poorly state having upgraded it from Vista to 7 and it got stuck on the 7 upgrades, rebooting and not moving forward, let alone the Windows 10 upgrade that kept deleting the restore points. Having found the correct drivers I deleted all the 7 updates and then went ahead with the upgrade. I had spent about six days with it stuck at 32 & 6 percent - I'm retired so when I say 6 days that's 6 days including days when working men will be working ! + nights. I had the same issue with my own eight year old Sony sticking at 32 & 6 percent but this was the sound side which I fixed myself. The partners Sony was just embarrassing since it was getting close to a clean install. Us kids of 8 bit systems and PDP8s can still do tricks if we haven't forgotten them.

I've done 5 PCs, one without the software that people hate. The rest with the software that people hate but first time it came up with rubbish drivers which the lovely guy above had found the correct ones, although as I recall he extracted them from the site / app that people hate. That is all above so he was being very useful in providing the correct drivers which the site / app had got wrong in their mapping table.

I would make the observation that the older the system you have and whether the manufacturer has ceased support for the product effects how smooth the operation goes. The first two eight year old Sony's were troublesome.
