    Windows failed to install


    I just built a new pc and every time I try to install windows it says "windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause." I have tried creating a windows installation on a separate USB and i have changed tons of different things on my bios that were said to fix the problem. My hard drive is 100% plugged in and is getting power.

    I have a gigabyte b365 ds3h mother board.

    :)

    Windows failed to install

    KB4025339 Fails Install 0x80070564

    Thanks
    I am trying Eagle 51's suggestions now. Windows Update troubleshooter found a bunch of errors and fixed all but one.The update is trying to download KB4025339 again. I'll see what happens. At step one troubleshooter finishes with one error unresolved "Potential Windows Update Database Error Detected-Not Fixed". Windows update stalled at 0%.

    At step 2 same troubleshooter error. The KB finished a new download failed to install.
    Did step 3 KB has downloaded but fails to install.

    If Eagle's suggestion doesn't work I'll try EdTittel's suggestion

    Tried bothe Eagle & Ed 's suggestions - do not work. Anyone else?

    I have noticed that the latest update for my nvidia drivers has failed to update. Wondering about that!
