Windows 10 Insider Preview 17093.1000 (rs_prerelease) (3)...Last failed install attempt on 2018-02
Final comment to this issue ... My computer released its paused updates and started preparing, downloading and installing build 17101.1000 (rs4_release) taking 3 hours to complete before restarting ... Unfortunately, as I got frustrated when this issue began, I partitioned my computer with Ubuntu 6.01 and when it was downloading this build I deleted the partition of Ubuntu but forgot to repair the Ubuntu "grub" pre-loader and thus, upon build 17101.1000 restarting it went into the Ubuntu failed re-loader ... my fault and my stupidity as I believe that 17101 would have installed as told by a very helpful commenter in the Windows Insider tech community ... anyway, I reinstalled build 17025 (171020_1626) and Microsoft updated me to build 17074 (180116_1539) in slow ring to which it stopped upgrading me ... I am back to where I was on January 12, 2018 ... As I am "chicken" now and do not wish further annoyances, I will remain in slow ring as 17083.1000 is not any better to where I am now ....
- After 5 failures with 17093.1000, 2 with 17074.1002 and 4 with 17101.1000 I'm stopping the previews as they simply will not install on my pc.
Interestingly the quality updates (last one KB4074588 on 16 Feb) install just fine.Hi Thomas , I feel your pain. Don't forget when you belong to the insider preview program, you a Microsoft's guinea pig and some of these builds have issues and error codes point problems which maybe incorrect. In my case , I had issues with getting 17083 to install , the error codes pointed to device driver problems, which I looked into to best of my ability to no avail. I searched the web for every solution that might have worked for somebody, but nada. Consulted Microsoft Tech Support and became POed with them , because they suggested a fresh install, which I should have done. My solution was a fresh install. Maybe down the road a new build will install and hopefully you will feel better. It is what it is, I make my living off Microsoft products and am quite familiar with the frustration involved with new builds.
Thank you for the kind words ... You are correct about signing up with Insider Preview and to be honest Microsoft does give me ample warning before signing up ... I also like Microsoft and make a living with computers integrating equipment with protocols like TCP/IP, R2485, and BACnet and thus, wish to see the development ... I was just surprised when 17093 came installed quite nicely on my PC but during the "working on updates" at around 75% some code told my PC to shut down and once a PC shuts down during the update process it is difficult to recover ... I guess I expected the Microsoft techs to kind of explain this a little instead of the usual response of silly stuff that everybody who has a computer usually does or a fresh install ... Unfortunately, I had to do a fresh re-install as I made the mistake of deleting a Ubuntu partition before and without repairing the Boot "grub" installer disabling my PC's ability to restart ... Anyway, Windows 10 is back and my PC is working well in the slow ring ... Thank you very much for your kind and intelligent comment ... Take good care and keep learning ...
