Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade  

curlysir said:

I have used the repair installation from a downloaded iso many times without any problems. Today I cannot get the downloaded iso to mount. I tried a previous iso that worked and have the same problem. The iso's will not mount. I can transfer the iso file to another computer and it will mount correctly. I have checked the default app setting (windows explorer) and it appears to be correct.

I am considering trying the Media Creation Tool to do the repair, I have done a backup so I can reinstall if it messes up.

What do I need to do to get the iso to mount on this computer?

Hello,

If wanted, other than the Media Creation Tool, you could try using the ISO to create a USB with to use for the repair install instead.

I considered that option also. I am in the process of using the Media Creation Tool option right now.

I have no idea why the iso will not mount, I have done a search and have tried all the methods I have found with no luck. First time I have had this problem.

UPDATE: Just finished the repair install with the Media Creation Tool, no problems, now at 19044.1889 . Also the ISO will now mount after the update.

Latest ISO provided by Microsoft is 19045.2006 (which is older). Would it be safe to use it?

Yes. Just check for updates after the repair to get fully up to date.
