One thing I might be able to do is disconnect the ethernet cable and using the files I downloaded from UUPDUMP, use W10UI to apply the latest update.

But then, I have to leave the ethernet...

I'm currently running two OSs on this PC, Win11 Pro and Win10 Pro. The Win10 Pro version is 19045.4355.

I want to update Win10 to 19045.4412 but every time I boot into Win10, it starts...

OK, thanks for the info.

Sorry for a really DUMB question -- but if Win10 is not going to have any more releases, then why are we still seeing Insider work being done?

I just remembered a couple of complications.

First, the Win11 install is on a m.2 SSD, so there is no way to remove the power before the data.

Second, my primary desktop also has both Win11 and...

OK, so you were having the same issues?

Thanks for the info -- I will do this in the future.

I have an old desktop PC that I have used as a file server and Media Server. It has been running Win10 Pro since that came out years ago -- and there have been no issues with that.

Then after I...

Unfortunately, it just DIED -- I'm not kidding; Stone dead -- will not power on.

Oh well, got three years out of a free laptop -- so can't really complain.

OK, did all that and checked the drive to ensure the ESP was populated with the correct files.

Seems to boot OK now.

Thanks for all the help.

Yes, I did change the BIOS settings to UEFI.

Thanks for all the details -- but I just stumbled upon this thread here -- Conversion of Legacy to UEFI Win 10 -- and am reading through the comments. In it, you suggested using Disk Genius, so I...

Confirmed the esp was there but when I restarted the PC, it did not give me a troubleshoot option, only shutdown.

I'm going to restore the drive from backup and use Minitool Partition Wizard to do...

I have an old Dell Latitude laptop that a relative gave me, rather than thowing it out, and it was running Windows 7. So, I upgraded it to Windows 10 -- a couple of years ago -- and it's been...

Upgraded an old Win7 desktop two weeks ago. Looks like I just made it under the wire!

I agree wholeheartedly with your approach -- as I have disabled OneDrive, since I don't use "cloud" stuff at all.

I can see using it to store small stuff that you want to have access to real-time...

I have a couple of "unsupported" PCs upgraded from Win10 to Win11 -- and they are still getting updates regularly.

I am surprised because I thought MS would have cut them off long ago ...

I won't get into a Linux-vs-Windows debate (as they are pretty much a waste of time), but I have been using Linux distros daily for well over 10 years and while SOME of it still needs command-line...

UPDATE: After experimenting, discovered this was a problem with the Edgeium browser, not UUPDUMP.

When I copied the URL and ran the same in FireFox, it prompted me to allow the download -- which...

You can always download the .msu file from the start of this thread and run that, if the standard update does not go well.

I ran into the same transfer slowdown copying 30GB image files from my internal NVMe SSD to the external SSD. But then, I read (maybe here) about FastCopy and that does not suffer the same slowdown...

In don't know.

I picked up a 1TB SanDisk External SSD from CostCo when they were on sale. Cost around $100 a the time.

I know this is off-topic -- but I wanted to share it, anway.

I learned (the HARD way) not to trust the integrity of external HDDs connected via USB ports.

I support a bunch of PC and do weekly...

This one was bad for me, too. Of the five PCs, including one laptop, that I tried to install this one, four of them failed -- no error messages, just went through the motions but when I reboot when...

The UUPDUMP page for this version does not appear to allow downloading the Windows Update components anymore. You can get a list and start the download for each item. but when you select the item,...

I don't know how long this version of Ryzen Master has been out, but I installed it two months ago.

It took them this long to find this problem and report it?
