Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade  

No clue, then, sorry.

If I do a repair install, will it remove all universal apps including the ones I have installed?

Hi Shawn, bad news, I have a problem app (Remove app from menu) that I cannot uninstall and I was hoping that a repair install would remove them all.

Remove app from menu

Doing some research on it now.

When performing an in place upgrade repair it may be performed to:

a) fix problems with an existing installation
b) upgrade to another version of Windows

For option b please consider adding the free space requirement to the tutorial:

Code:

Verify disk space
You can see a list of requirements for Windows 10 at Windows 10 Specifications & System Requirements. 
One of the requirements is that enough hard drive space be available for the installation to take place. 
At least 16 GB of free space must be available on the system drive to upgrade a 32-bit OS, or 20 GB for a 64-bit OS.

Hi there,

I've been battling Cumulative Update failures for a long time now (over a year), and I've already tried doing a couple of repair installs - they both worked (ie Cumulative Updates actually installed properly afterwards) for a couple of months and then the problem returned each time.

I recently tried a third repair install, and that itself failed with error OxC1900191 - 0x3000D

I'd like to have another go at doing the repair install, but... I've been pausing Windows Update for so long now that it refuses to let me do it anymore and I'm trapped in an eternal cycle of auto-downloading Cumulative Updates which then attempt to install and fail after restart (I know I can restart the computer without installing the update as a temporary workaround - but it's still there waiting to try and finish the installation)

So my question is: Is it ok to either a) attempt a repair install or b) stop the Windows Update service/delete the Software Distribution folder etc while a Cumulative Update is installing, or waiting on a restart?

If not I guess I'll just have to let it attempt to install, fail, and then just hope I can get in there fast enough before it downloads and installs automatically again???
