KB5000842 fails to install
As I am one of those referred to below, and this issue started when I became an "insiders' subscriber, its reasonable that I share the following from a friend who is computer savvy : "
I know that MS intended the Insiders program to be for people that were computer savvy to assist in testing of preview updates (as this was) and provide feedback. Most of the people that are members are either not the least bit computer savvy or totally incapable of providing considered feedback. Hopefully you’re not going to get any more of these updates, but if you see anything that is ‘Preview’ or ‘Beta’ show up, I’d strongly suggest you uninstall it."
- I have no issue beta testing SW myself, I just get annoyed when an update doesn't install.
The rest of the roller coaster ride is fun for me personally despite the constraints it puts on you.
I do agree that it has become too easy for people to become insiders thinking of it more as a way to get new stuff faster rather than you being an experimental beta tester to help MS with their broader stability.
Hello everyone . As for optional updates, it will not always be successful and there is nothing to do with this problem, because system diagnostics prevents the implementation and installation of this hotfix that means that a specific environment is missing to install and run such an update! Therefore, do not worry about it - because it is not possible for all computers at one time to get a full updated environment even being a tester does not cause all stages to be implemented simultaneously for everyone! My entry please rate as private reviews! Good luck
- This is not an insider issue, I'm not on the insiders program.
- Interesting, I didn't know that KB was available for normal build.
DeadStack Yes me too , I haven't subscribed yet to early versions via insider but things have happened bad to me as well
- well, its more widespread than we thought. And MS take so long to fix it. Without a care for the annoyance its caused......................
- My friend did not get this update. I assume it was an option offered as a preview in your case? If so, that would explain why he didnt get it, as he does not take previews or optional updates.
