Upgrade from 18356.16 to 18362.1 fails
TheNerdBoy Thanks for the confirmation that I wasn't being the only silly person to have failed in such a way.
Isn't there any way of getting the Windows Store package from a healthy installation and then installing it manually? I feel that would solve the problem.
Meanwhile I rolled back to the previous version of Windows and needless to say that didn't help either...
Update: Something very weird is going on with the WindowsApps folder. No matter what permissions I set on it I cannot do anything with it - create, modify files or anything...
I have tried the windows folder permission, auditing, etc. I even went as far as deleting the WindowsApps folder and copying it from a laptop, as well as the registry key. I ran Ubuntu from a flash drive to do that.
Rolling back to the previous build did nothing but make things worse for me.
There is something in the code of the OS that is written differently than before that is cause this.
For now, updates are on pause.
TheNerdBoy A miracle happened! 18362.30 just rolled out today and it fixed everything... My standard apps are back, the Store works - some Apps failed updating due to some weird errors but after reinstalling them they now work just fine.
- Same with me.
On 2019-04-03 Update Installed 10.0.18356.16
On 2019-04-04 Update Installed 10.0.18362.30
Now everything is up to date and working. Back on track.Updating to 10.0.18362.30 now...
UPDATE: everything is working....
The key is disabling Windows Search in services.msc then applying the update. It will work fine then.
