Failure to install Windows 10 April Update(version 1803)

.... "Microsoft please step up and resolve these issues once and for all, you have a responsibility to do so!" ....

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT !!!!!

I am very angry for it.

One of the computers that is giving me fits is a stock Gateway from about five years ago. The other is a custom rig that is under two years old. The upgrade troubleshooter shot nothing, and the upgrade assistant was of no assistance.

I, too, had Microsoft remotely control my machine and tell it to hide the update. That didn't seem to last, however. It started trying to install that update several weeks later.

I did find an option to freeze update installation for 35 days. I'll need to keep an eye on that.

Soooo glad that I finally decided to block 1803 in June using metered connection option .

Unless Microsoft publicaly admit there is a problem, and give a formal solution then I am staying at 1709. Although actually, my Win 10 machine is now gathering dust. This update from my Windows 7 machine.

Yep, my problem exactly. Commercial laptop, it worked fine. Custom desktop, would not install even though it tried every time I started the computer. Like I said, Microsoft forces updates that are not good for ALL platforms? There was nothing that was said was incompatible when I updated it to Windows 10. So why do updates now that won't work on computers already running Windows 10? The Microsoft solution? Remote control my desktop to change my computers settings to IGNORE that update. Just avoid the problem, don't fix it.

One of my computers seamlessly installs updates while another has continual problems. Makes me wonder sometimes why I ever left the world of Apple.
