    Actually, I got the "This PC can't be upgraded to Windows 10" message when trying to upgrade my Teaching Lappy. However, I created a USB drive using Rufus and did a clean install of 18362.1, which was no big deal, since that machine is quite lean and everything's on my external drive. The install worked fine.

    Maybe it worked because I did a clean install? Shawn? @Brink?

    Hello Wynona,

    Could be.

    It looks to only affect when trying to update or upgrade instead.

    I'll stick an SD card or flash drive into a port next time we get an update. Just to figure out if that's why my Teaching Lappy couldn't update last time.

    Thanks. It never occurred to me that the sd card would be the culprit as its never mattered before.
    Long journey of work! Glad you made it too.

    Interesting small detail in this excerpt:

    "For Windows Insiders, this issue is resolved in build 18877 and later builds."

    Sure seems to imply a new build lurking...............

    Testing the bug

    Yes for live upgrade with ISO file 18362.1 Pro edition. See screenshot: Drive D is 1809 ISO image and Drive E is Mate ISO image. Same as for SD card. The process creates this folder:$WINDOWS.~BT and there is nothing special in Disk cleanup.

    Inappropriate drive reassignment can occur . . .


    Shame on you, MS!


    (apply palm to face. contemplate length of runup to 1903 release.)

    No for offline upgrade with the ISO file 18362.1 = works. The upgrade comes with the Apps crash bug. Did not try to fix it. After WU, the bug remains = 18362.53. Plus, OneDrive is unremovable, so the bug is permanent. Please consider removing 18362.1.

    Testing the bug 3 Upgrade 10.0.18362.30 One Pendrive In


    Not an ISO and upgrading takes twice the amount of time. The Apps crash issue was present and OneDrive was not shown in CCleaner nor in Revo. 18362.30, no issue to get .53.

    UUP dump: Browse known builds

    This time we have done a full reset of the start menu. All MS apps were re-installed (42), but OneDrive would not open. We re-install it from the store and the bug was gone after. Who would thought that the bug was there.

    The screenshot shows the window we are not able to reach with post #1 message or popup. This upgrade did work with the Mate 19.04 ISO image insert.

    Still working after 5 years and faster with Ryzen. Start Menu full reset in PS ISE Admin:
    Code:
    Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
    All the best,

    Wait a sec...They KNOW they have a bug, they know they're going to roll out an update, they know they have a fix for the bug, but they're not going to fix the bug for the May roll out? Is that right?
