You can do light browsing windows open , listen to music etc. I have attempted at least 5 times to update to Windows 10 I downloaded the troubleshooter app as advised, used the Windows update assistant, followed instructions to go into safe mode and delete files in the Windows Software Distribution folder, turned off firewalls , and VPN metering…to no avail. Settings tells me I am updated, but there is now update history and the Windows update assistant tells me I am still running Been working on this for 2 days.

Can you see a separate Cortana button? If yes, then the update has been successful. You say that your computer settings tell you that your PC is updated. I checked the version in System settings and it is still Looks like a real pickle.

Please defer your update for the time being. Yes, you can only defer by 7 days manually which is an annoyance. Better to wait for Microsoft to fix these issues.

Thank you so much! Something is definitely not right. I no longer have any history in my Update History. Would it do any good to contact Microsoft Support? Or just wait this out? I will read the article you sent. The only way to get a human response from Microsoft is to go with their Assure software support plan. It is available at Microsoft Store. I have downloaded the troubleshooter and done all that it said to no avail. What would you recommend for me to do.

Some information relating to this article has changed compared to the original date. You say the Windows Troubleshooter cleared your system for an update? Try the steps in this article one more time before giving up.

Also, some of the readers have shared their experiences in the comments section which might be helpful. System recovery? Or just keep using In the worst case, Microsoft will not be able to support any new feature updates for your Windows 10 PC. There are still hundreds of millions of unsupported Win 7 users, By far, Win 7 was the best OS.

Further, I even have a Win XP notebook which works just fine. I have been attempting to update to v for the past few weeks, throughout the month of October to no avail.

Still no success. Now I have an Update History screen telling me that v requires a restart to finish installing while Windows Update claims that it still needs to download v? I am currently running on v, is there any need to update to v?

Or should I wait it out until ALL bugs with v have been resolved? I think you need to download using Windows Update Assistant only see Step 1. Just wanted to update everyone. I have successfully installed and am now running v I downloaded v using Windows Update Assistant, only after clearing any corrupt files via Method 3 in the article from my original post. I simply repeated what I had originally done, perhaps Method 3 was not done properly the first time.

Shame on Macrium for substituting a custom version which causes a Windows Update to fail. I have removed Macrium Reflect from my system and will never use another Macrium product. Ive been trying to get the update since may. Ran the update troubleshooter no probs there. Still cant find any reason why it wont install.

Tried a clean startup to see if any of the software was causing the prob but nope still wont install. Tried everything on the microsoft website to try and fix it but nothing works. As my other hard drive had a clean install of version on it it updated with no probs and only took 30 mins. Prob is i cant add my email accounts on that drive. My desktop originaly had win7 on it and it was an acer X but its been updated a lot over the years.

Its been sat in my PC as a backup drive to put backups of my files onto. Will using the version work as a recovery as i have that on a USB stick or will the Acer software cause a conflict? Dont want to do a clean install cause i will lose all my stuff i have on the disk and i havnt worked out how to transfer it to the other disk.

Plus i wont be able to get at my email accounts as it comes up with an error when i try to add them to the other hard drive which is why i dont use it as my main drive even though its a lot bigger. But when it comes to sorting out probs with them im stuffed lol. If hardware fails its simple to find out what broke and replace it but when its software i give up. I think you might be on to something here. Since you built your PC from scratch, that too from a Windows 7, it might be a cause of conflicts.

I think you should ignore the update as your system seems incompatible. It probably fails to ensure compatibility with the original Acer components.

I am only guessing because even Microsoft has no clue about this. This indicates that there was a problem downloading and installing the selected update.

If the update appears, and you are running Windows 10, version or later, you can simply select Download and install to get started. If the installation remains stuck at the same percentage, try checking for updates again or running the Windows Update Troubleshooter.
