Am I the only one having endless trouble with this update?
It has failed on my laptop and deskside. MS "support" has been trying for 3 weeks to fix the desktop problem, error 0x80070003. Today MS offered the update for the laptop and failed twice with 0x80070002. I've tried the various repair actions for both with no luck. MS "support" has escalated the deskside problem to Level 1 - lots of tries and many logs since haven't identified the problem. A third machine here, my wife's, got the update without a hitch. The difference: her machine is a month old and came with Win 10. The other two are older and both were upgraded from Win 7. |

Tried a fresh install of Windows 10 (install again but choose to wipe for a new/fresh install of Windows 10)? Backup your data, make sure you have the installers for the apps, backup an image of the current Windows 10 installation, and fresh install Windows 10 (it will get your product key from your Microsoft account). Could be you're lugging pollution from Windows 7 or apps that is not compatible under Windows 10. |

Have you tried running the setup.exe directly by mounting the iso on your machine? In fact, have you downloaded the full iso for future reference? If not then why not? If you have the iso then running the setup file directly will solve most problems. Just make sure you are offline and choose "ignore updates" when running it. This is for downloading further updates and may complicate things even more. Best thing is to ignore the updates now until your setup has finished upgrading your system. Then you can get one more update after you have rebooted the system at least two times. -- With over 500 million devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows. |

Jason, You have probably already tried this but just in case - turn off any 3rd party antivirus/malware/ransomware software. I have over 30 systems to update and have found (so far) that MalwareBytes (free or paid version) was a major cause of the failed upgrades on the few I've done so far. After I disabled it, the upgrade worked. Bob S. |

Per recommendation of the MS support folks, I also use msconfig to disable all but the Microsoft services during the update. Didn't seem to help. I also spent a couple hours the other day going through -all- of the installed programs and drivers and tossed quite a few old ones that I no longer need. MS Support said that drivers can prevent an update from succeeding. What I don't get is this: at some point, Setup logic determines that the update cannot proceed. Why doesn't it tell me/anybody why? I'd think that would be easier than poring over all the logs (most of which don't mean much to me anyway). MS support has collected them all and handed them off to "Tier 3" for analysis. Hope springs eternal.... Thanks |

Hope springs eternal.... Thanks Jason, Past experience with windows upgrades has shown that video drivers are notorious for creating problems. I've had one Dell Win10 system at a clients location with a PCI video card installed where the video driver was the problem. Two methods that have worked for me: 1. Go to *manufactures* site and download and install the latest video driver. If it's an onboard video setup, then still do the same thing - download the latest driver(s) from the manufacturers site. 2. Uninstall the video driver / software package (AMD, NVidia) and then do the upgrade using the windows generic driver. Then reinstall video drivers/software. Now I have found that when I was upgrading systems from 1607 to 1703 the Intel drivers were problematic - specifically the video drivers. When you uninstall the video drivers (software) make sure you reboot and insure that the system is using the generic drivers. If it's reloaded the same drivers, you didn't uninstall them. If it's a system that is using an onboard Intel video chip you may not be able to uninstall it and even if you disable it in Device Manager, it comes back. In the device Manager, find the manufacturers drivers under "System" and right click on each one and select "Update Driver Software". You may find that some of them will update. After all are updated, try the upgrade again after rebooting the system. If it still fails, go back to the Device Manager System menu and look for th4e video/graphics chip drivers and right-click to bring up the Properties window. Then select the Drivers tab - you may see a selection to "Roll Back Driver". If it's not grayed out, try rolling back the driver. The past few months there have been a mall number of updates available from the Intel site that indicate to me that the driver downloads from MS may have been a bit buggy. I have not taken the time to ferret out all the details. I just do the above and try to update any drivers individually under the System devices in Device Manager and the reboot and try the upgrade. With over 30 systems of varying vintage and manufactures I can't remember all the details but I have troubleshot a lot of previous upgrade problems with versions 1607 and 1703. The latest version 1709 has been upgrading fine - save one system and that was a MS Surface Pro 4 tablet. Go figure.... But it upgraded on the second attempt. I'm assuming that MS had you run the Troubleshooter (windows update) and that it cleaned everything out and said it found and fixed a corrupted database. If not - do that first. Bob S. |

Bob S. Jason, If you updated all the drivers in the Device Manager System devices as I said then: Uninstall that NVidia driver and software and use the generic windows drivers for the upgrade. Also make sure nothing else is connected to the system such as USB devices (other than keyboard and mouse), no printers. Make it as bare bone as possible. If you have an extra USB card or other PCI card installed for eSATA or something else - remove them. I assume that MS verified that you have enough hdd space (min 8.5GB to 20GB) to perform the upgrade and they had you run a memory check and CHKDSK on the drives - right? Bob S. |

There's plenty of space. I've run CHKDSK and no problems were reported. I've removed printer drivers per your and MS' suggestion. There are no other PCI cards installed besides the Nvidia adapter. I also took a long walk through installed software and tossed some old applications that I no longer need. MS has disabled all but MS services via MSCONFIG during the update. I also disconnected a USB3 hub; there's only one more attached USB device beside kbd/mouse - the APC UPS. I'll unhook that one and try again. Thanks. |

C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setupact.log 19,068,030 bytes --- "correct" timestamp Subsequent stages dump here. C:\Windows\Panther\setupact.log 75,017,518 bytes --- Redmond time The "error" is not right at the end of that file, because the "unroll" of the install also gets logged. There is also potentially a setuperr.log. How to interpret, is documented here. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/...(v=ws.10).aspx "When a failure occurs in Windows Setup, review the entries in the Setuperr.log file, then the Setupact.log file, and then other log files as appropriate."
