10162 download ands install like molasses
I tried to D/L 162 yesterday but after about 3 hours was still at 0 %
and no progress on the bar, also I noticed there was no activity of the Nic led. So tried again and found it was waiting for a 602 update to complete which seemed to not happen, went to advanced option and tried to delete installed updates which I know there were 2 but delete program said there were none ! Well I cold booted again and tried and this time there was LED activity on The NIC so I let it run and shut of the monitor only, this was at 10:00 pm last night, About 6:30 this am the keyboard lights flicked on and off a couple times accompanied by some windows sounds so I knew it had finally rebooted and was running 10162. It usually takes about 3 hours or so but I don't really know what the problem was this time. Regards, Rene |

Regards, Rene On my machine, my Logitech webcam software was "awakened" by the OS, such that the software tried to re-install itself. Since I wasn't prepared for this, the USB webcam wasn't plugged in. It might have taken a long time, for 10162 to install, while that activity was stuck in a loop. Plugging in the USB webcam it wanted, helped stop the looping behavior. I use tools like ProcMon and Task Manager, for as long as the update offers me a desktop screen view I can use. Once the screen disappears, then I have no controls. But up to that point, I can watch for interactions and "fix" them. That includes really disabling the Search Indexer or disabling real-time AV protection. My OS decided that it *must* upgrade the Adobe Flash plugin on Internet Explorer, before 10162 to go forward. That was another small waste of time near the beginning. Paul |

The upgrade didn't take any longer that way. BTW, I have Win 10 on a virtual machine, so did not need to burn a DVD. -- Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.us/ " God... 1) The emperor has no clothes. 2) There is no emperor." |

Norm I guess it was something in my or Microsoft's system that went haywire, My win 10 is on a 120 GB SSD with noting else on the drive, So it should have went smoothly as before. Well we will see what happens on the next update. Regards, Rene |

Well we will see what happens on the next update. Regards, Rene I found one thread on the web, where a "dosvc" folder ends up with hundreds of thousands of files in it, and it can fill an SSD drive while 10162 installs. To delete the contents of the folder later, can take an hour. (Apparently, that's why we have SSD drives, so we can wait an hour for them to drain!!! Sheesh.) That particular subsystem, is related to doing Windows Update from a local computer. Say one computer has downloaded some Windows Update files. It can share what it downloaded, with another computer on the LAN, and reduce the download load necessary to keep the two computers up to date. Some aspect of that was broken, causing a "dosvc" loop and filling a directory with files. Some people had a very small (~1MB folder), and others ended up with gigabytes of stuff in the folder. You could survey your system using WinDirStat or similar, to sport the damage pattern. (It would be a gray looking area of disk, with lots and lots of very small files.) Or, you could go look in the named folder mentioned here. I first saw mention of this on some Microsoft forum. http://forums.mydigitallife.info/pri...?t=62100&pp=40 c:\windows\logs\dosvc HTH, Paul |
