Windows 10: windows 10 update issue

On November 6 I emailed the community as Microsoft will not allow movement of my personal files onto one of my external harddrives so that it can perform the latest enormous update for windows 10. I have followed all Microsoft instructions. I bought yet another external drive even though I had plenty of room on my existing drives, all temporary files have been cleaned out, apps I never use deleted, recycle bin cleared.


all instructions checked through over and over again. No go. everytime a grinding halt when the external drive is sitting there in D and clearly seen in the Microsoft instructions with more than enough space. nothing! it seems the system will not refresh and move on from cleaning ther eis definately nothing left to clean to moving files over to external drive


Sumit was answering my qs but ceased as of 24 hours ago. can anyone help and make Microsoft work ?

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

Your system will not work as a seeder for other Windows 10 users. It will give sudden boast to your Slow internet speed.

 

Windows 10 fails to update


Thanks,

The Users list compared to the Profile list you posted earlier tell me there is not an issue with Users (a known issue where there is a profile in the list, but not actual User folder).

The error code suggests corruption in the CBS manifest:
Try these steps one at time until the issue is resolved or you run out of steps.
