    Unable to install Build 15014


    I've had trouble with builds 15002, 15007 and now 15014. Installation would hang during final cleanup boot -- at least that's where I think it was.

    The machine is a VBox VM running on Win 7 Pro 64-bit. Having failed over the several weeks to get an install to work, I re-built the thing using Win 8.1 Pro as the initial VM, then upgraded that to Win 10 Pro using Media Creation Tool. This all seemed to work. Several routine updates were installed. Again, no issues.

    I then uninstalled some pre-installed apps that annoy me using PowerShell.
    I then subscribed the machine to the Insider program and selected FAST.

    Along came Build 15014 and it hung up just like before.
    Has anyone else seen this? Do you have a workaround?

    Thanks,

    I had the same problem. The problem appears to be an incompatibility between the Virtualbox guest additions display adapter and the final cleanup boot.

    Here's what I did to get around it:
    - reboot into safe mode
    - go to device manager > display adapters
    - delete the Virtualbox Graphics Adapter for Windows 8+
    - restart

    After that, my machine completed the update.

    Good luck

    Thanks.
    I tried that but it still failed the same way.
    I'm going to try again to see if I clanked up getting into safe mode.

    I vaguely recall a similar problem (was it a year ago?) that was ultimately fixed by Microsoft.
    (Was it around build 14049 or so?)
    I had hoped they'd fixed it for keeps -- no such luck.

    Anyway, I'll give it another shot and let you know.
    Thanks again.

    Well, that didn't work for me.
    BTW, they've released a new build (15019) but it won't install.
    Re-boots and goes through the 2nd phase, then reboots for the final time.
    The black screen with the blue Windows 10 logo appears but just hangs there.

    Thanks anyway...


    Back to the drawing board.

    Frankly VMware workstation 12 (free) is better than vbox - vbox seems to get issues each time there is a build upgrade.

    Back to the drawing board.
    I had a really close look at the Session Information for the problem VM and I made a couple of changes.


    1. In addition to having uninstalled the VirtualBoxVideoAdapterDriverForWindows8+,
    2. I also enabled 2D Acceleration.
    3. I also changed the "Paravirtualization Interface" to "None" (It had somehow gotten changed to Hyper-V).


    And VOILA -- Build 15019 installed properly.

    Thanks to all who offered suggestions...
