Update 1709 to 1803
Hello,
I know, I know - countless problems with that update everywhere.
In short: since the inception of the 1803 update in October 2018 my computer tries to bring that update to a good end - in vain. And this several times a week, with a considerable slowing down of the machine at each try - so much so that I had to make the update service inactive while working, so as not to imper my work.
Seeing no solution to this problem, and reading the often contradictory information about this ubiquitous problem, I finally contact Microsoft over here in Belgium. After checking everything - and trying a partial reinstall (while keeping all files), which also failed after the second restart, those helpful people at Microsoft told me that 1709 contained a blocking element which made the update impossible. So, wonderful recommendation (as usual): back up everything on C and do a clean reinstall.
Now, is that really, really necessary? Nobody told me of course what the blocking element was, they just confirmed the error code: 0x800700d8. But it is my experience with Microsoft that when a problem gets a bit too complex and that they really must devote time to it, they just go into "total reinstall" retreat.
So, maybe there is a less drastic solution to my problem somewhere. Could find anything except complaints about similar difficulties for Forum 10 users.
Meanwhile, I'll avoid updates. My actual version works okay (even with a number of ridiculous quirks, which are not as annoying as the one described above).
Thanks for perhaps redirecting me to some threads or tutorials that wull show me the way.
