Cannot install Insider Preview 18305
Troubleshooting upgrade errors from one Insider version to the next always involves detailed troubleshooting. In your case I would say the download of the version is just fine, its in the upgrade process that you issue lies. I have blogged https://www.onthewinside.com/blog/how-to-troubleshoot-a-bad-upgrade-part-2-lets-dig-deeper about ways to look into this. It involves some digging that some are not comfortable with doing. If you are adventurous, consider going down this route. In my blog post my issue was a problem with a new version of Dot Net and IIS. I suspect your version has to do with the windows store. First thing first is to get some more information about your error
Check out my blog post or run the Microsoft utility SetupDiag https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/upgrade/setupdiag to find some more information. Post what you get along with some details, does this machine have a lot of windows features enabled or extra software installed?
**bleep** luck and let us know if you can get some details on your error

I am curious to know if it installed for you. I had issues downloading too. When I tried to install it would get stuck and I’d have to quit. Eventually I burned the ISO to USB and got it to install. But although I have reset update and changed registry keys over and over I cannot get 18305 to install. And of course there is no ISO to download. I have a Dell XPS laptop. I’d appreciate any advice.
thanks
I am facing the exact same problem, cannot updated insider preview from 18282 to 18305 on my Dell XPS. Windows Update downloads all the files, restarts but when it reach 10% it just restarts the laptop. Error 0x80070490

Decided to add in this thread although it is not exactly same problem.
I was running 19282 and Windows updated to next build (not sure which it was) but there were bugs related with VMware not running (I found many people were having that problem and the solution was to revert to previous build, i.e. 19282. Now I want to update to 18305, windows finds the update, downloads, installs it, and when it restarts just says undoing changes and it goes back to 18292.
This has happened multiple times and every single time same result.
I also keep getting warning that "This Build will expire soon!" which it actually already has, since the date is 12/14/2018...
How can I fix it an install 18305?
- Hi all
I've spent the last two days going through every possible suggested solution (thanks to Murray for his very detailed blog) but always end up with Windows rolling back to 18282 and the message that the build is expiring on Dec 14th, so because my wife needs the laptop I was eventually forced to reinstall Windows 10 from scratch and leave the insider program.
