Update log availability, driver update exclusions?
Greetings,
One of the W10P machines under my purview locks up during the update reboot phase. It's my hunch that it's due to a hardware driver update failure. Does anyone know if Windows Update creates a detailed log of its actions and where this log resides? Does anyone know how to disable device driver updates? TIA. Thank you, 73, -- Don Kuenz KB7RPU There was a young lady named Bright Whose speed was far faster than light; She set out one day In a relative way And returned on the previous night. |

Thank you, 73, I cannot provide an answer to your questions, but I encountered a similar problem that I fought for months. Read the link below and see what he said about removing the Wifi/BT card. That solved my problem with the update and when the card was reinstalled, the driver was installed so everything worked. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...989b09b?page=3 |

Thank you, 73, You could try this on it, after booting an installer DVD to gain access to the Troubleshooting section and use the Command Prompt. DISM /image:c:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions This assumes a Windows Update operation that is failing on reboot, and is still in a pending state. Paul |

reboot phase. It's my hunch that it's due to a hardware driver update failure. Does anyone know if Windows Update creates a detailed log of its actions and where this log resides? Does anyone know how to disable device driver updates? Windows stores multiple log files at: %windir%\Logs\WindowsUpdate PowerShell Get-WindowsUpdateLog translates the log files and creates a human readable text file named %UserProfile%\Desktop\WindowsUpdate.log KenW wrote: I cannot provide an answer to your questions, but I encountered a similar problem that I fought for months. Read the link below and see what he said about removing the Wifi/BT card. That solved my problem with the update and when the card was reinstalled, the driver was installed so everything worked. It turns out that W10P tried to boot from a backup SATA cartridge because the mobo BIOS was erroneously configured to prioritize newly discovered hard drives and move them to the top of the boot list. Control Panel Advanced System Settings Hardware Device Installation Settings That's handy.
