Hello, I've got a machine well it's an owner of same that is driving me insane. It's a win10 1607 box that is failing it's 1709 update. The machine using update assistant successfully downloads, verifies, and begins installation. On the first reboot installation continues, then stops at between 20 and 25% changes are reverted and the amachine reboots back in to win10. The update obviously fails. It is now to the point where the update comes daily and is not stopped, this is one reason why I don't like the new win10 update plan if there's an issue you face it repeatedly and can not defer. In an effort to halt the update until I can get a fix I disabled windows update, (didn't work 10 restarted the service), disabled windows update and set the failure action on the service to do nothing, (ditto restarted), removed the windows 10 update assistant and the win10 privacy settings update prereqs for 1709 update (these updates were put back and the system atempts the update at least once a day more now). I'd appreciate any suggestions. This machine is not running out of storage space, has a 1 tb drive. It's running a UEFI setup, so booting by thumb drive is not doable. Unless someone knows if a gigabyte motherboard ga-990fx has a boot menu and where the usb option is. I'd appreciate any help, some urgency! Thanks. Dave.
I suppose you could copy the data to a backup and then just perform a fresh installation of Windows 10 1709 - not the easiest solution, but I don't have anything better to suggest. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of David Mehler Sent: Monday, January 22, 2018 7:10 PM To: blind-sysadmins <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] win10 update fail Hello, I've got a machine well it's an owner of same that is driving me insane.

Hi, I would just reinstall. Seriously, you've spent more time sorting it out already then a reinstall would have taken.

Hi, If the machine has an SSD drive, then it's a known issue and I've seen it before. Best thing is as Andrew says, do a PC reset on it.
