Unless I'm reading your picture wrong, you're trying to install on a USB Flash Drive.

Hi there

I'm trying to install to internal SSD !!!!!!

Anyway I'll use a Linux Live distro to clear / re-format internal SSD and then boot from MCT again and have another go with clean install -- want that so when 1809 does re-appear I can upgrade from a known prior release).

Something is really screwy with these installs -- MS should have tested this a bit better. !!!

Hi,
Yeah I knew something wasn't quite even close to right on 1809 Pull

Hi folks

Re-install of 1803 OK after the re-format of my internal SSD - something obviously hosed with all that WindowstoGO stuff I was messing about with.

However is there some conspiracy theory going on here -- It's coming up to that hideous event they have in USA known as "Black Friday" -- hopefully Europe won't fall for it in the same way as in previous years - but it's huge I believe in USA -- so perhaps Ms employees want a bit of extra overtime payments -- what better than fixing a major release gaffe over a Sat and Sun (usually "Gold time" payments !!).

Just my cynical nature folks --I'm really sure there are loads of hardworking people at Ms -- my experience over a long time in I.T and Engineering -- loads of time in Oil Biz for example is that things go rapidly down hill when you get Non technical management having to take Technical decisions.

Thanks, could you do a step-by-step thingy? Bit overwhelming for me now... :O

You’re welcome,
I understand, but it would be prohibitive because of length to try and do that in this thread instead, I’ll try to lay out the steps better.

Go to: Windows Defender Application Guard (AppGuard) and follow the steps there.
The article covers everything from enabling AppGuard to working with grpeditor. If, as the article suggests AppGuard is grayed out or unavailable you may still be able to use grpeditor to turn off organizational warnings, the problem is you’d have to find the setting to do that.

Instead of switching from a tab to the AppGuard app to follow the instructions you may find it easier to either copy/paste the article into your word processor and print out the article or use Firefox’s new screenshot tool to save and print an image of the article.

I have found out more info about Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) since my last posting.

It seems ATP is a subscription service that uses the cloud.
When you’re on the ATP page and you click on the free trial link (Want to experience Windows Defender ATP? Sign up for a free trial.)
You’re taken to a page to sign-up and MS gives you a link to dowload the app. The free trial is for 60days after which you will be notified as to the billing procedures. I’ve seen cost of $84USD annually, I’ve also seen where it’s not that good but you may be able to use the free trial to stop the warnings. I’m not sure whether or not the warnings will return when the trial is over.

If you need to explore this further I will be glad to help but please, create a new thread in the Antivirus, Firewalls and System Security Forum and post back a link for me to follow.

Thanks.

Have not had this problem for quite a while. System restart, Clean up system files does not remove it and manual delete gets this message. Properties states 0 Files, 7 Folders.

When this happens, I have found it usually helps to make Windows "see" Windows.old by first running dir C:\.
