Hi,
What's your current Windows 10 version/build?

      Thanks,

      I did clean install Windows 10 Beta from ISO the other day and installed that update successfully.

       

       

      so the problem you are facing is probably due to something happening in the past (or in rare cares hardware related which is unlikely imo)

      I would do a Reset to take care of it. (choose to delete contents of Windows partition when asked)

        Unfortunately i can't afford to do a clean install now and lose my personal files and apps
