1903 upgrade is being weird
My system is currently on 1809. Today Microsoft finally deigned to allow me
to upgrade to 1903. After the download completed, I rebooted my system and went off to do other things. When I returned I was greeted with the login screen, so I assumed everything had gone ok. Imagine my surprise when the system informed me it was still 1809. While I was pondering what to do next I checked the update screen again, and noticed that it stated it was installing the upgrade with some percentage completed. In all the discussions I have seen on the 1903 upgrade I have never heard of the upgrade being done in the background while the system went on its marry way. Can any of you enlighten me as to what is going on here? |

Can any of you enlighten me as to what is going on here? The hundreds of W10P under my professional purview typically automatically download and install new OS builds in the same manner that they install any other update. Users can keep on keeping on during most of the download, at least. Users are typically locked out during critical phases that occur during reboots. You can use wushowhide.diagcab to hide both ordinary updates /and/ newer builds, so they're pretty much the same thing from an OS perspective. The only time a W10P reboots to the same old build for me is when something goes wrong during the update. Look in your update log to see if it failed.

You're supposed to open the Settings wheel, and look in the Updates to see what it claims is the current disposition. It could be downloading. It could be installing. At some point, it will "request" a reboot. Then the remaining phases will happen. On my Insider disk, I watch that Settings wheel like a hawk, to see what shenanigans it can get up to before the reboot even happens. It can claim to be doing some of the steps more than once. ******* There is a diagram near the bottom of the page with the phases. There is another article (somewhere), where the diagram is a bit more substantial (and likely done by the same illustrator as this one). https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...upgrade-errors ******* If it fails, you can try the SetupDiag, something invented around four years ago. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...rade/setupdiag "About SetupDiag Current version of SetupDiag: 1.5.0.0 https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=870142 507,056 bytes SetupDiag is a standalone diagnostic tool that can be used to obtain details about why a Windows 10 upgrade was unsuccessful.

And once again, I got the dreaded IRQL not less or equal error in NDIS.SYS. If I remember correctly, I dad to go in and uninstall all the miniports that my VPN software creates. Will see if that fixes it this time. |
