Windows 10 Anniversay Update 1607 Keeps Failing
I downloaded and burned the 1607 version of the Windows 10 ISO, burned it to a DVD and ran the Windows install (keeping client's files & programs) from the DVD. This also gets almost completely finished and then fails at the very end.
Anybody else experience this or know a solution? Thank you in advanced.
I will be back at the client site at some point on Thursday.
I'll try out these ideas and then report back.
Followed Ramin's suggestions and waiting on the updates now.
Currently says, "Working on updates. 81% complete..."
Got to 99% complete and then failed. We now have the "We couldn't complete the updates. Undoing changes. Don't turn off your computer" message.
:-(
(or wait 3 weeks and see if by chance the Creator's Update will install -- but a clean install is a more "solid" solution)
You can do a Windows 10 Repair Install with an In-place Upgrade to fix that problem.
You will not lose any data files or Apps if you follow the Instructions.
Go to the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool from this link:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Click on download tools, save it on desktop, then run it as Administrator, accept license agreement, then Choose Upgrade This PC Now, let Windows to Update drivers. make sure that Keep Personal Files and Apps is
Selected and let the Windows do the rest.
If this does not work, then a clean install is required, after formatting the disk.
We are going to wait until the next major update comes out and see if that one works. Failing that, we'll have to do a wipe & reinstall.
Thank you for the suggestions!
