Issues Updating from 1703 to 1709

Hi AO,

It failed, now 05.48 and i am going to bed.  Yet another waste of time despite your efforts.  Failed at same place as always regadless of new wireless card, checked all drivers and updated 1 by 2 weeks or .001 version.

Hi Ao,

     I will let you know the result but have not yet found time install 1709.  I still have some drivers to check as some of the Dell are different builds to those installed when I last updated.

Same problem. It keeps attempting to update and freezes on the logo at reboot. I have to shut the computer down and restart. Endless loop. Same result with the assistant and the media creation tool. All drivers Windows says are up to date. I am annoyed and clueless. I keep paying for new versions of Windows, but they don't get any better.

Kindly update us if you're able to update to version 1709 after installing a new wireless network card which is compatible with Windows 10.

We await for the result.

Hi AO

           Thank you for the information about the wireless card which like other bits and pieces does not have a specific Win 10 Driver and still uses the same old Win8.

Unfortunately the Broadcom Wireless Card became unreliable especially for Bluetooth, hence the change.  I do have another Intel, a N7260 which does have drivers for Win 10, so I will swap the Cards over:  I ignored the N7260 because it has some surface damage and is untested but hope it will work OK once fitted.  If the N7260 does not work then I shall leave the card out and use a Cat5 connection (unless you advise differently).

            My Wacom GP driver is also only Win8 with no later driver than 2015 I believe, I will also uninstall that.

            The Radeon HD 8730M caused problems as early as the Win 8 to 8.1 Update so I will disable that too.

            In some instance the Windows OS installed drivers are not actually those recommended by Dell so I will change those too.  Both the Network Card and the Sound Card drivers are different in reference and date and the Windows ones are slightly newer, a few weeks only but as it is the Dell recommended I will use them.

If it does prove to a driver then I am more than a little amazed that the problem could not be ignored by the setup and reported at the end instead of the lot falling on its face.  With Updates this large being frequently issued I think the error reporting needs to be drastically improved, the more things that are fiddled with at any one time then the more likely things will go wrong, "Murphy's Law" and all that! 

       Thanks for the help and I will try the Update in the next few days, I hope you don't want me to redo all the bits suggested in your earlier post
