    Windows 10 update freezes computer


    The last couple of days, I keep getting notices for a huge update, I click to start the update and while it is installing, it reboots a couple of time, then nothing, just a black screen. Computer still on but froze up...

    I hold the off/on switch until it goes out.. I reboot the machine, a screen comes back up saying it is reverting back to latest version..

    Been going through this now for two days..Tried running the Microsoft trouble shooting and repair, says all is OK..Try to update once m ore same thing..

    Tried rebooting and continue hitting F5 for safe mode, nothing, starts normally..

    This machine was windows 7 at one time, I fought it until the last before upgrading. I sometimes wonder why..

    Any ideas as how I can get this update installed with out a freeze up.

    Edition: Windows 10 Home
    Version: 1607
    OS Build:1429.1758
    Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) i5-2320 CPU @3.00 GHz 3.00
    Installed Ram: 8.00GB (7.88 GB usable)
    System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

    Thanks

    Ron..

    :)

  2. Still having freezing issues after windows 10 anniversary update

    Hi Chris,

    I have checked those general causes regarding Windows freezing but this issue is known by Microsoft. This freezing issue starts when you update to the windows 10 anniversary using a SSD. If you go back to a previous build there is no such problem so its
    something wrong with this update.

    Thanks anyway!

    Windows 10 update freezes computer

    Hi, sorry to hear of your problem.

    Your build number looks strange: this is the latest I have for the AU (1607)

    Could you try Windows key + R, winver, and advise?

    Let's see if the failed update is listed.

    Please post a screenshot of your Update History.
    To post a screenshot please use the Insert Image button above your post to the left of the video icon.
    Also of your partitions:
    Windows key + X, Disk Management.Please also do these basic checks:
    Your file system:

    From an admin command prompt
    [Windows key + X, click command prompt (admin)]
    chkdsk C: /F
    Your PC will need to restart.
    Post back the result, which you can get after a restart as follows:
    How do I see the results of a CHKDSK that ran on boot? - Ask Leo!
    Make sure the result is clear or fixed- else do not proceed.

    Your system files
    From an admin command prompt
    SFC /SCANNOW
    and report the summary result.

    The exact error message of the upgrade failure would help.

    Thanks.

    I would guess the update is the new Creator's Upgrade, the next major build.
    I would advise you act defensively and wisely, and create (or update) a disk image of your system. A few people have significant difficulty with the replacement of the whole of Windows.

    E.g. Macrium Reflect (free) + its boot medium + external storage (e.g. 1-2Tb) for disk image sets; option Backup, Windows Backup.

    Hi,
    1. There's no indication of a failed update - I suppose, since it's rolling back, it's possible the CU upgrade failure won't even be recorded.

    2. As above:
    Please post a screenshot of your partitions:
    Windows key + X, Disk Management.

    3. I think you're saying chkdsk passed ok.

    4. Did you run SFC /SCANNOW?
    Your system files
    From an admin command prompt
    SFC /SCANNOW
    and report the summary result.

    Assuming the above is ok, and you then create a disk image for your security, then

    Download the iso:
