To have a better understanding of what is going behind the scenes while using "Update Assistant" to upgrade to a new version of Windows, I think the following can help:
Behind the scenes, it creates a new folder "Windows10Upgrade" in C:\ drive which contains several files. The Update Assistant starts downloading Windows 10 setup files in form of a .ESD file which is stored in the same "Windows10Upgrade" folder.The file size increases every second as the file is being downloaded by Update Assistant.
But the ESD file is kept in this folder temporarily. As soon as the complete ESD file is downloaded (when the download progress reaches to 80% approx.), the ESD file is extracted to following folder:
C:\$GetCurrent\Media
Where does Update Assistant Download and Store Windows 10 Setup Files?Access Denied
FWIW, on my system the Windows10Upgrade folder was stored on "X:" partition. where it remained.
You are not alone. If you work out how to correct it I know a thread that would be interested in your solution.
Setting update preferences in windows 1903
This is nuts...
Still have two systems on 503 (intermediate build) - anyone else not being offered this?
Is 503 required before 1903 (I think so)?
One other item -
Can I use the 1903 ADK binaries on 1809 to update them or do I have to wait for 1903?
Thanks!
Let me quote myself:
"I made the error of downloading the .iso and installing it as an upgrade over 18362.116. It turned out to be an upgrade-in-place (not a new build). "
My language might have been clearer. I didn't know that 18362.116 was the release version, or I wouldn't have run the "update". Complete waste of time. I checked this thread, maybe too hastily, to see what the build was of the release version, but I didn't spot it, if it was there.
I doubt that you were deliberately trying to give insult, so I'll chalk it up to a communication problem.
