COMPUTIAC · 18 Sep 2018

Failed to install at 20% on first try.
Finished installing just over three hours on second try.

Not funny MS !

Eset IS still working perfect in this build.

Mine went thru like 5 phases of Getting ready>Downloading>Installing....back to Getting ready>Downloading>Installing... rinse/repeat... 5 times till I got Restart! Hour and 20 minutes. Really abnormal for this machine. After resrtart, 5 minutes to desktop. MS is playing with the setup again. Something. Very similar with the Fast ring, too.

But on fast ring, I had a very fast download,install,restart sequence. This was super slow on skippy—one skippy computer is attached to internet with Ethernet, which rocks on at 115 mbps and the other on WiFi which is downloading at 60-70 mbps. Both were equally slow on the download so can’t blame it on internet service provider. Following restart both took only 6-7 minutes to complete. Go figure!

All done!

The update took 65 minutes a bit over of what I was but it's OK.
Best yet no funny surprises here it went from downloading to desktop with no stops.
Actually it did hung a bit long on downloading at 99%.

Another surprise build. Just checked this morning and it's doing it now. Did they change the way it installs ? Looks like it's (again) doing it in several parts. One prepare than download, installation, download, installation. here it's doing it third time. Not resource heavy though, can do other things at same time, even browse internet.

Hi folks

working fine for me

I updated via one of those UUP --> iso downloads and installed from the created iso.

I wonder if most people who have problems with these installs are doing it via Windows Update as skip ahead or doing it manually via uup-->iso creation. Be interesting to get feedback on this.

I can only do it manually via uup-->iso as skip ahead program closed.

Took me from initial download to booting a laptop (i5 processor, 8K RAM, 250GB SSD) just about 30 - 40 mins so fastest one yet.

Up and running -- no probs

MR also OK (using patched version from last skippy).

Watermark on same place (the usual place), logon screen as in previous skippy

Finished update but again had to do it from ISO mounted in a USB, otherwise it had GSOD than a BSOD citing some unidentified PnP driver error. From mounted ISO, no problem. I suspect a non-WDM graphic driver. I'll replace it with 17.7.1 which windows installs when newer drivers are cleaned up with DDU. This one (18.8.2) is giving me problems with some 3D games anyway.
Took me a while to finish everything, had to make backup and cleanup before I applied it. Now all looks good. My custom setting to include Safe mode in boot menu and hiberfill,sys were not ignored or any custom defaults were not changed. scannow and dism came clean.
For now everything's working fine.

Updated, but I think the time is coming to switch to fast ring.

Not yet, after October update, Skippy and Fast are likely to converge for a while., Same as last time.

That's what happened here. Processed in "chunks", it seemed. Odd.
