1703->1709 BSOD 0xc00000bb on devices with NVMe SSD's
- Nov 30, 2017This is a known issue. The fix for this will be included in the cumulative update that will be released today at 10am via http://catalog.update.microsoft.com (manually downloaded). It will also be included in the next Patch Tuesday cumulative update. (Ref OS #14207031, 11D)
Hi guys,
I have great news. It looks like that the new Spring Creators Update will solve our problems. I am right now with that distribution (updated from the anniversary update) working without any problems and after avoiding the BSOD while updating.

I copy/paste from his thread (links at the msi forum post):
"I found a solution for this struggle I had the last 8 month!!
I just tried everythind but a clean install. So now I thought about not installing 1709, but 1803 which was released as final some days ago.
With this trick I got my PC on WIN 10 1803:
-Download ISO File: https://www.deskmodder.de/blog/2018/03/28/17133-iso-esd-deutsch-english/ I used the x64 german file, but most of you might need the english one.
-Download ISO to bootable USB tool https://unetbootin.github.io/
-Create a flashdrive with latest ISO
-Restart PC
-Navigate in explorer, open setup.exe on USB medium
-Choose install and keep data/settings
The installation process starts and keeps up - no error after reboot!
I don't know if MS did any changes with this new function update, but main thing is that it works like charm!"
From my side I have also a small contribution. You should install the package which has your language, otherwise you will not be able to upgrade without losing your apps/programs due to language incompatibility. That was my case. I could not find .iso files for my language, only RU, EN, and DE.
My solution was to register as insider and to download the last iso available directly from microsoft (the page only works with edge!!!):
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewiso
Probably you can download that withouth being insider, but I did it after registering so I do not know if that is a prerequisite or not. Right now the most updated version was the build 17127.
After choosing the last build and my language, the iso file was downloaded, I mounted it (you have that option built in windows) and then I did the install directly from the setup.exe as usual (it is not necessary to use an usb stick). Everything went smoothly and my windows was updated without any BSOD and I do not get the annoying forced updates anymore.
As a suggestion, after updating to the build 17127, I recommend to look for updates and update to the build 17133 (Windows 1803) as that will be the final public version for the Spring Creators Update. I did that and then I left the windows insider option so that I do not get more updates from that source, only from public releases.
I guess that it will be possible to get the update through the windows update soon (in 10 days or so) but they are 10 days of getting again the annoying update messages, reboots and dealing with the update orchestrator.
Please, if it works for you, post it here, so that we know it is working.
Greetings
Thank you Constantino Grau Turuelo. I did as you explained. Subscribed to the Windows Insider Program, downloaded, mounted and launched the setup of the windows 17127 build iso and now I'm successfully running on windows 1803.
The windows 1709 perpetual update fail restart nightmare is over! I don't thank you microsoft, because it was five month of disastrous experience with your OS.
