    Join the club. Several replies say that the Update Assistant is buggy and not to use it. But nothing else works either.

    The new update messed with bluetooth connections somehow, see my other thread for more details. I think this should be under known issues. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows\_10-hardware/new-update-broke-bluetooth-ability-wh-1000xm3/057c025a-e718-48de-bb40-5b3ab15098f0?tm=1590861934517

    I ran the update and it took several hours to download and install, when the install was finished I restarted my machine only to get an error message saying that the install failed error 0x80242016, what is the problem, leave it to Microsoft to release an update without testing it first. Looking for a Mac now!

    The update was never notified to me. On 28th May, I switched on my T580 Thinkpad, the main on switch button lights up but the screen remains black for nearly 1/2 hour. There was no any sort of notification showing update is in progress. Then windows launched and showing a new windows revision. Restarted back the laptop, it crash, can't launch windows, can't reinstall the update, can't even reset the laptop(at the expense of losing my data). It tried to auto diagnose, diskcheck, diskfix..nothing works. Looks like the harddisk failed. Thanks Microsoft for screwing up my 1year old laptop..I never wanted this update.

    Happy to know I am not the only one (sorry)

    I have tried on an other PC and received just the message "Windows 10 update failed" nothing more!

    It is realy a true disaster.

    May be a corona update.
