    Yes, this is obvious bug when we manually mess with Windows Update. The OS is going to download again, and size downloading will grow to 5GB, then 10GB, etc... it keeps staking in the folder but upgrade fails.

    Like I said, worked on 2 machines out of 5, so it's not the location. It's just Microsoft wanting people to ruin their systems because wait is killing us all.
    Tbh i am just going to try later let me know if you have any luck

    I ended up waiting for my desktop upgrade. Already downloaded like 50GB's of 'failed' shit on my SSD. Not to my taste. Cheers lad, take it easy.

    How to make windows 10 work!!!!
    i tried everything command prompt, del softwaredistribution/download, del $win nothing worked
    Then i tried the microsoft media creation tool when you run it on upgrade and there is a program blocking it it tells you what it is and will uninstall it for you if you choose. it worked on the first try. So if you are experiencing error after error search microsoft for the creation tool and it should help you. if not what have you lost? i know it helped me

    Hi,

    yes the Media Creation tool works perfectly. It was false positive for sites & Microsoft to report "it will not activate if you don't update to it via Windows Update". I upgraded my PC successfully with it too.

    I registered just to reply to this. Sorry if it hurts, but are you retarded?
    Microsoft has never said to use setup.exe. Why do you do that? Of course error is to be expected.

    Forcing windows update not always works (tried on 5 machines today, only 2 worked). Sometimes it's downloading, preparing and on the last step you might get error.

    But if everything is successful after download and preparation, it should popup a window where it will ask you to agree to it.

    I highly recommend you to wait until tomorrow and see how things go. I broke Windows Update on 2 machines because of too many "tweaks" to receive it. The upgrade will not be gone, don't worry.
    I just registered to acknowledge what an ass you are. Your douchery will be remembered. cnut.
