This is hilarious. It reads like a parody. I was waiting for the part where I will "leave my body and become one with the Microsoft ether that engulfs all living things."

Mine installed in Program Files (x86) and I thought the same thing, but I checked within Edge and the about panel says it's the 64-bit version. So why the heck can't the installer put it in the...

Does this new Edge have a left-side bookmark toolbar like FF? A dark theme? Or does it support the Dark background and Light text plug in?

Don't even want to try it out until I know. Thanks.

Why the heck Chromium?

...yeah, whatever...

Yep, I did that a few times as well, especially with music VSTs and Adobe plugs. It's like "oh yeah, I forgot about that one." It was a huge help.

I know MS backup (or whatever they call it) could...

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but one really useful feature of Macrium is the ability to mount images as a drive and pull data from them. This cut my recent re-build time to 1903 way, way...

I'm not saying I didn't believe that was happening to you, I was just saying it works for me. Here, dueling screenshots.

Know this isn't much help, but not seeing this on my system.



Not seeing this here either. Works fine to find it.

Pretty much my same sentiments ( though after a system rebuild.) Working fine and I appreciate some of the new features.

One weird thing it's done twice on boot... After I enter my password at...

Yeah, I didn't mean to come down on MS so hard because I know this stuff is really difficult.

I was suggesting a completely different approach to them that warn or exit more gracefully, or even...

Just stopped by to say I started a clean install on a spare drive this morning and it works. Landed on 1903 in less than 20 minutes.

Now I've installed all the same hardware, all the same...

Thanks, Ken. Yeah, I ran it yesterday and got nothing. Something about not being able to match the rollback to "any known failure signatures" but I deleted it, and all my install files and logs...

One last question before I opt for the OS reinstall...

Does anyone know what is happening at the 75% mark during the second half of the upgrade? That is where mine fails every time and begins its...

Yes, this was a great suggestion and glad it worked for Dav.

Sadly, in my case, it still errored out and rolled me back to 1809. Next stop clean install just to make sure it isn't hardware...

Ah, this could be it. I was one of the lucky (or unlucky) few who got 1809 when it popped up for a day or so last Fall. Reinstalling software on top of itself often fixes a lot of problems.

I...

Dav,

Just wanted you to know you're not alone. First off, let me mention that two of my old systems (one with two different nvidia graphic cards in it) updated with no problems using the USB...

Yeah, I tried that, too, plus disconnected Network, removed all cards, USB devices and still failed. Spent the last hour restoring to 1809 with Macrium.

The answer will come eventually and it...

Hmm. That was a good thought. Mine was listed, but the update says it's not applicable to my system (used the first one for x64).

Anyhow, I errored out again this morning through regular WU with...

Well, the error below is the one I'm receiving after my third attempt. Same error as first install. I researched it and it has apparently been around for a while. Could be other USB devices (I'll try...

Odd you were able to do that. If you use USB media, it errors out saying you can't have an external USB drive attached. At least it did on mine.

I've tried it twice this way. First time I got errors that it failed on second boot. Second time, I came in after it had been updating on the grey screen and was met with my regular sign in. No...

Heh. Good one.

Just wanted to say, I noticed my C drive was missing a couple of gigs in space since this morning and I checked my software distribution folder in the Win directory and it was downloaded there today....
