Installation fails every time!
So far nothing worked
My existing build has expired and now I'm not sure what to do!
I can't go back, that option is no longer available and I can't move forward.
Can anyone help?
Hi Sam,
you have no 3rd party Anti-Virus solution?
if so remove it fist then run the following in an elevated dos box
net stop bits
net stop wuauserv
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v AccountDomainSid /f
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v PingID /f
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v SusClientId /f
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v SusClientIDValidation /f
rd /s /q "C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution"
net start bits
net start wuauserv
wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow
PowerShell.exe (New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.AutoUpdate).DetectNow()
This will fully reset your Windows update, hope it fixes your issue

Still doesn't work!
I'm puzzled why windows insider builds don't say why they failed!
Is there any way I can obtain the ISO and try to install from it?

Hi Sam,
though one you pc :)
you can head over here to get the 18290 ISO (if you're on an older build)
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewiso
Hope that works!

Still doesn't work! :(
My build continues to show that this build has expired with no alternatives either to go back to an older build and not no way to upgrade!
I'm in a pickle!
