The new version 2004 is up and ready to download. Theres two methods to install it.

Method one:

    Beyond frustrating!  Microsoft you need to either stop the feature updates or slow them down to one a year.   Why keep releasing updates that fail for a lot of your customers?  The Fall update is getting close and I still can't get the May update installed.

    Don't you get logs from failed updates?  Do you even use them?

    Life long Microsoft guy but I am rapidly losing confidence in you.

    The download assistant does more than assist with online downloads, i used it first to upgrade from 7 to 10 without losing over 12 years of FSX files. As fas as getting the Win 10 downloads v2004 its usually easier and faster go directly to MS.

    There quite a few wsys to go the restores and not lose anything contrary to whats being said, you can get your key and admin by going in as Admin and resetting or doing a change on User. I know as admin it has alot of ups and downs so i make sure i open all hidden files. To get in and change your password go in safe mode, depending on typre of computer the keys will be different , cntrl shft f9, but tge usuals are F7,8,9,10,11,and12, there be others but usually F 9or,10. In safe mode you can find out what your password was .

    Ok, heres the overall solution. Fact of the matter the technologies are moving so swiftly that things arent going thru much testing or logic in Alpha or Beta versions. That what happens when things get subcontracted.

    The solution i found was a do a USB with a Windows 10 your version boot. My program i use formats and copies the boot onto it. The iddue seems to be two part minimum  Windows Defender and a Cloud issue , and for some reason Defender reading files and considering them a threat deleting them. Happened on last summer fall update.

    The next step is usually even when using update assitant youll get an entire download, then when you attemp the install the download begins. You have a few options

    1. You can do a 3 repeat unplug let restart and unplug, and windows will go in and do a repair. It will give you options, backups, restore etc, or you can back out of screen do a restart and press f9, you want to select boot snd USB, now you can boot safely . Having a USB with your recent backup is good. Imm old school, we used to have to backup everysingle pc of work everday on a floppy.

    On the issue of the download 2004 i personally turned off all updates to maximum and ill il that until the glitch is fixed 

    Hello Please advise this frustrated novice computer operator:   What is a USB with a Windows 10 your version boot?    Since recent updates I have lost passwords, my MSN account, Administrator sign in and password  and recently the error code AADSTS50196 popped up on my screen.   How will I ever get my computer with Windows 10 working again?   This is a recent problem  Thank you to anyone who has an answer............................
