So here we go again. There have been 3 major updates to the WIN 10 OS and all have been colossal failures. They take over your computer for 6-10 hours or more, crash, reinstall previous version.... repeat. This is truly a horror story yet again. On the first update, I lost use of my computer for a week while it **** around with these failures. The 2nd, almost a month of interruptions. And on this latest one, just had the first 6+ hour steal and crash. I write this on my Mac which is quickly becoming my system of choice given these ineptitudes. MS try hiring some competent programmers who can send out updates that actually work quickly and efficiently the first time! I look forward to the coming weeks of crashes as it tries and fails over and over and over and over......

Thanks, I won't spend any money upgrading to PRO which is about as bad as HOME. My system continues to freeze after "forced" updates. Are you aware of any way to stop these terrible and poorly coded/tested updates? I am fine with staying at version 1709 until Microsoft finally hires good coders and testers.
After all these failures and hard disc freezes I wonder if upgrading from Home to Professional would resolve the problems. Anyone with Professional having same issues?
Hi Jim,
I can sadly state, from my own tedious experiences, that upgrading to Professional will not solve the problem! To cut a boring and long story short, I have been facing all of the issues mentioned on this and other threads since about December 2017. To date, due to the constant freezing and BSODs, I am on my 3rd brand new Surface Pro. The only remedy I have had from my local MS store, has been a complete replacement which I have been only too glad to take them up on. This latest SP so far, 2 weeks in, has not yet crashed or frozen - even whilst streaming from Chrome.
The latest MS update was withdrawn from release recently and I am hoping when it finally is released, all of our issues will be resolved. How's that for naive optimism?
Good luck.

Thanks for your post ... your implicating anatel wi-fi solved the update crashing and complete loss of system problems that h ave plagued me since the very first Windows 10 installation. In my case I have an Asus desktop with bluetooth piggybacking on the wifi card. I physically removed the card and drivers and the the computer updated without crashing at the various percentages. I was going to replace the motherboard as ASUS support said there was an issue with W10 compatibility ... their only offer of help was to send the unit in for reinstall of W8.1 (no thanks). I will replace the wifi card and go with a USB bluetooth adapter.
