Method one:

    A "wooden box"? Now that's wild!

    Yep and a wooden box with flashing strip lights, (what's that all about).

    For those that are interested:

    My laptop with the "search" problem that won't upgrade has done it from USB ISO.  Straight to 2004.

    I needed to turn off internet by putting it into "Flight Mode" to complete the install without errors.

    Best News is "SEARCH" now works, and all my apps are still there.

    Just need to find a UK keyboard for a ASUS laptop, French, Polish but no UK keyboard.

    Bruh, a "wooden box" with RGB strips, you'll find a keyboard! I am sure!

     Now, you may trash that theory by telling me that all of your systems are prebuilt. I'll wait....

    No desktops all home built, 1 "laptop" is one my son built and gave to me as a gift, a laptop bastardised into a home made desktop WOODEN box. (but it upgrades so far).

    You may correct as most home builds use Stock chipsets, Processors, GPU's and drivers. Most branded desktops I have had the pleasure of opening up are unrecognisable in comparison, laptops use bespoke mother boards and drivers.

    Well, that takes care of that! I have no answers. I went back and resubmitted my theory, and I haven't heard back yet.

    "Latte" nights huh? I don't do "lattes", but I do do Paul Masson's any night, so I tolerate. LOL! I know you meant "late" nights, because I have them too!

    It still surprises me how many the variety of problems are with this update. I've said many times that, I am a Windows Insider, and we are supposed to get the rough edges of the updates, so that when you get them, the "bugs" are all worked out. Doesn't seem to be the case here though.

    I stated in earlier posts that it appears that most of the "issues" are with prebuilt systems. Laptops are notoriously inefficient in installing this update. You have 6 desktops, I have 2 that I custom built, and they are updating with efficiency. My laptops, that I also customized, are also taking the updates in stride. I have heard nothing..., crickets, from MS when I throw this dynamic into the mix. But I am all but certain that there is a nexus between prebuilt, and update failure. Now, you may trash that theory by telling me that all of your systems are prebuilt. I'll wait....
