  2. Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10525 stuck at 99% (Configuring settings 96%)

    Hi all;

    Steps to where I am now 7 hours after starting the update.

    • Fully update and activated release version of Windows 10 10240 upgraded from Windows 7.
    • Windows Update presents me with the TH_2 10525 update.
    • Upgrade went perfectly from start to 99% (Configuring settings 96%) in about 25 minutes.
    Specs

    i7 Proc + SSD drive 45gig free disk space

    The problem is the upgrade seem to be stuck at 96% and has been for 7 hours.

    Question

    • I have read in other posts that some waited 24 hours and eventually the install finished, the drive activity light is still indicating activity so is it safe to assume the install is not hung even though it is over 7 hours now at 96% and if so should I
      just wait?
    • At what point do you decide Windows is hung vs Windows is just as mentioned on other posts that say at 96% you data is being backed up do you decide it is actually hung?
    • Should I reboot and if so what are the chances of my ending up with a stable and usable operating system?
    Thanks in advance

    Stuck in Windows 10 Upgrade

    My computer seems to be stuck in a Windows 10 failed upgrade loop. I was running fine on a beta version of Windows 10, and then I came downstairs one morning to see it repeatedly booting, attempting to repair, then rebooting. The steps I've taken to diagnose are:

    • Attempting to boot off a USB drive (with all drives disabled in BIOS) - this fails at the point of the blue windows screen
    • Attempting to boot the machine itself and getting into "repair/safe mode" using F7
    • Looking at the BIOS for obvious failures (e.g. RAM that should be there is missing) - nothing obvious is wrong.

    I am fairly certain the build version was 9926. For many months, the system would attempt to upgrade, and then say "it failed" for some reason and roll back.

    Suggestions for next steps?
