Windows 10: Windows 10 Update 1903 Stuck even after clean install

Hi guys.



I have a laptop which has Windows 10 build 1803, and it never updated to newer releases I don't know why, but still functions normally, so I never really cared about it. But since support is coming to an end for 1803, I decided to update.



The update downloads without a problem, but when you restart the pc to install it, it always gets stuck at the 48% mark. Not even letting it update overnight did the trick. The loading circle always freezes in place. Note that I tried multiple times, and this error always happens.



To try and remedy it, I did a clean install, not even keeping my files, but to my surprise, the problem still persists even after this, so I don't know what to do anymore.



Someone have a workaround for this issue? Thanks in advance.

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
