Failure to install Windows 10 April Update(version 1803)

I found a solution that worked for me.

First go to Microsoft Windows 10 Media Creation Tool and create the Windows 10 1803 version on a default formatted empty USB drive.

Then open the USB Drive with File Explorer and run Setup.exe. Select the option to install new version of windows. Then you can select to keep your applications and files or not.

No, you will not lose any data, files, apps or settings. All of those will be preserved when using the Media Creation Tool.

My Windows 10 is currently installed in C- drive. Will I loose my data in C & D- drive if I upgrade my PC using media creation tool??

Thanks for your reply.

In addition to the suggestions made, after creating the bootable install USB, when it is time to do the update, totally disconnect from the internet. No wire connection, no WiFi.

Hi Harshpreet,

With these major upgrades, the most successful method is to upgrade from the Windows 10 ISO - you download the ISO and then perform an Offline Upgrade

Click this link:

to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), then choose ISO

When the ISO file completes downloading

Disconnect from the Internet

Disable any 3rd party Antivirus you may be running

Then, double click it and then run Setup.exe to begin the upgrade . . .
