SoCalRox Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I have been trying to update my laptop from 14257 to any of the newer builds and it keeps choking. I'll run the update and it reboots and shuts down. Since I had an issue earlier with the battery causing similar behavior I removed it but that didn't matter. I've tried to chkdsk, I've deleted directories ($WINDOWS.~BT) and such but it doesn't matter. Any suggestions?

BeerFan Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 If that were happening to me, I'd backup anything important, then do a clean install from USB of the current Insider ISO available for download, then upgrade via Fast Ring.

SoCalRox Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 I've considered that, but I am hoping to eventually solve the problem since I just did that with the release update in November when I added an SSD.

Jack W Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Everytime I install the latest build, it bluescreens, restarts and loads up the previous build.

+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted March 20, 2016 Subscriber² Share Posted March 20, 2016 It happened to me and I just kept trying, after 4 attempts or so it updated.

SoCalRox Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 I'm probably on my 10th or better effort to update. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1292408-cannot-update-to-newer-version/#findComment-597329336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhoenix Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Run disk cleanup and hit the button to run including system files, then when done reboot and run sfc /scannow in a administrative command prompt, then reboot and give the update another whirl, I had this problem myself last year but only with a couple of much earlier builds and no issues since. Worth a shot anyway. SoCalRox 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1292408-cannot-update-to-newer-version/#findComment-597329342 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyRounds Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Clean install and update to the latest insider seems to work best. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1292408-cannot-update-to-newer-version/#findComment-597344668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
