This new update method is very slow (started at 3:30 PM, finished at 8:30 PM).

Yeah, they haven't worked the kinks out of it yet.

I wholeheartedly recommend switching back to ESD upgrade, at least for now as long as it seems to work perfectly. You get a bit bigger download but the upgrade is faster and more reliable.

An extract from a post in ESD to ISO tutorial thread:

   Tip

If having a possibility to make an ISO image and create your own install media weighs more than reduced download size, you must manually disable UUP in Windows registry.

Both of the following DWORDs have by default value 1 (UUP enabled). You must change both values to 0 (UUP disabled) to keep getting the ESD file and full build download:

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion>WindowsUpdate>Orchestrator
DWORD: EnableUUPScan

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>WindowsUpdate
DWORD: SupportsUUP

These DWORDS must have the same value, 1 for UUP enabled, 0 for UUP disabled.

If you want to you can also use following registry scripts to switch to ESD upgrade or UUP upgrade. Just download the one you need and run it to change relevant values in registry:

• UUP Off (Switch to ESD upgrade)
• UUP On (Switch to UUP upgrade)

Thanks to esteemed fellow geek @f14tomcat for these registry scripts :)

If you have already upgraded when UUP was enabled, you do not have and can't get the ESD file. Do the above registry changes before next build upgrade to assure you will get ESD file.

If your upgrade has been downloaded and prepared but you have not yet clicked Restart now button in Windows Update to start upgrade, you can do the following to redownload upgrade and get the ESD file:

- Edit the registry as told above
- Open Disk Clean-up > Clean up system files
- Select Temporary Windows installation files, click OK:

Attachment 112932

- Wait until clean up is done
- In Settings app > Windows Update, click Restart now
- Windows will now restart for upgrade but as no upgrade files will be found, it boots back to desktop
- Now let Windows Update to download the upgrade again, this time it will be the full upgrade and include the ESD file

Thanks for fellow member @Bat 1 for registry tip.

Yes. I ended up doing that but thought I'd give UUP a chance first just in case they had fixed it. Pretty much a case of hope over experience.

What's going on with this, Kari? I'm reading the pretty yellow page, and it goes to no graphics, then back to graphics!

Is it my machine, or are you editing?

I used UUP upgrades for all machines and VMs, except one, which was still trying (and failing) to download 15007.

That one VM was my only case of things going stupid during the upgrade process.

Strange . . . When I've been away from my computer for awhile and have to input my password, Windows "rediscovers" and shows the contents of my WD My Passport external drive. It doesn't, though, "rediscover" my Toshiba external drive.

Are both connected to that same USB port via A USB hub, or different ports?

If different ports, check both ports to see if Windows is turning either one off to save power. Or, alternatively, adjust your and power settings to disable selective USB power reduction.

Both are on separate USB 3 ports, John. And I don't have any power saving modes set; all is at default, which is Balanced.

Edit: Here's a snip of my USB settings; the only option is to remove the device, which I don't want to do. :)
