IIRC the two issues which can stop a 1903 upgrade are the external usb drives and having restore points present. If unplugging all your usb drives hasn't fixed it, maybe you could try turning off system restore?
(Since turning off system restore will make it harder to backtrack after a possible bad upgrade, creating a system backup with something like Macrium would be sensible).
That’s lame. I use system restore. It has been a valuable tool to get me out of a hole a few times. I’m still waiting for it to be offered to both my machines in Windows update. I’m going to leave it on and hope all goes ok when the update finally comes through from WU. Has anyone had successful installs whilst keeping system restore on?
if things like usb drives and system restore can cause install failures then they really should not of been releasing this to the general public until these issues are fixed
I left it until morning as my internet was practically on it's knees and since no update was coming, now downloading thru MCT. I'll try to upgrade from ISO mounted on internal SSD. Can't imagine faster way.
Lost patience waiting for WU so upgraded using the upgrade assistant. I made sure all my USB drives were disconnected and an hour later I have a working 1903.
Didn't see a need to wait for MS to decide when to update since I'm also running Skippy/Fast ring too and know what to expect. ISO downloaded by MCT, mounted on internal SSD and 22 minutes later:
Edit
Run all system checks. imported all custom settings, run disk cleanup, even couple of my preferred benchmarks and everything is in super shape. There were few security updates and couple of store APPs were updated. Benchmarks show a bit of improvement, no drivers are force changed. Doing system backup now.
It's a keeper.
