Hi, I am trying to install the Creators Update on my computer, but it fails and has to recover every time I try. What system information should I post to help troubleshoot why the update continues to fail?

Thanks!

    You've got some kind of abnormality, beerus_king - or it could be you need Windows version 10.0.16299 for it. The worst I can get at a Command Prompt is...

    That will happen when the Prompt is not an administrator.

    So - try:  BCDEdit  -enum  all

    Then look carefully for the {badmemory} entry. Or, click the Prompt's icon in the header for its find box...

    Edit: It's a good idea to backup the BCD before making changes to it...

    MD  C:\BU //Create a BU folder on C:.

    BCDEdit  /Export  "C:\BU\BCD Backup"       //Backup the BCD into the file "BCD Backup"..

                                                                             //The BU subfolder is auto-created, if necessary.

    If necessary, it can be restored with:   BCDEdit /Import "C:\BU\BCD Backup"

    If you want to do it in PowerShell use the PowerShell command line escape string:

    bcdedit  --%  /enum  {badmemory}

    It will be the braces that need to be escaped because otherwise PowerShell will be looking at them as a possible "scriptblock"
