Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 15025 for PC Insider

Something to test out for those who has issues with UUP updates but still want to update using this method. I have used this method every time I get in trouble with UUP not working.

Steps:

1. Open Services
2. Find Delivery Optimization
3. Go to Properties
4. For Startup Type select Disabled
5. If service is running Press Stop
6. Wait for Service to stop
7. Press OK
8. Close Services

If the service is running but stopping the service is disabled then do the following:

1. Open Task Manager
2. Find Delivery Optimization
3. End that task
4. In the warning prompt that pop up just press OK and ignore the message
5. Close Task manager after you have verified that the Delivery Optimization task is killed.

After all this is done, reboot computer just to be on the safe side. Then recheck for updates and wait for the update to be downloaded.

It is normal for the initialization, downloading and preparation of the upgrade to use a lot of CPU (30-50%). The time can vary from 30minutes up to several hours, but be patient. UUP is verifying integrity of every single file (50k+) twice, before and after copying them to the setup directory. It will download all files that can not be integrity checked, but copy all valid files that are already found locally. If you have a slow CPU and a HDD, the time for the upgrade will be a lot slower than on a fast CPU with SSD.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

The file integrity check uses only one thread so the CPU usage will not be that high on a computer with many fast cores and Hyper Threading.

For your case it would be 100% / 12 cores/threads --> 8.33% usage at MAX

I think the number will be calculated even smaller if the CPU is turbo boosting. If I am not wrong the CPU usage is calculated based on the MAX base frequency, not on current active frequency. I'd say it's closer to 5% and less usage as you stated.

My download say's its been initializing since yesterday I still show the previous release 15019.rs on my display

Sorry Count, I don't get that. My fault, not yours; having a bad day with my neurological issues, difficult to concentrate. Care to explain?

I think what he meant is that typing in double spaces instead of single spaces when writing a post in Edge will remove the asterisk problem.
