It says there's an update pending even though I've previously - unsuccessfully - installed this update just minutes before. You'd think the updater might be smart enough to figure out after a couple of failed update attempts that this update isn't going to work. This is made worse for me as I dual boot into the Mac so the updates don't automatically go through their reboot dance. The result is when I return from dinner each night the machine is rebooted. They just shut down Windows (or wake it up from sleep) in the middle of whatever is happening even if the computer is off. This is bad enough, but it gets worse: The updates continue coming daily wanting to update EVERY day installing the same failed update again and again.ĭue to Windows 10's new policy of an update schedule that checks daily for updates these failed updates - and their 3 restarts - fire every day, without prompting or asking. In both cases the updates start installing, get to 96% and then:Īll in all this takes 3 restarts to get through. Updates started to fail starting with KB3194798 and then later with a newer update KB3197954. Life was back to normal.Ībout a month ago however things started going sideways. All went well at the time and when the final of AU rolled around I turned off receiving of Insiders builds to get back onto a stable machine that doesn't update every couple of weeks. Specifically the integrated Bash shell and some of the IIS improvements. Some time ago - prior to release of the Windows 10 Aniversary update - I was signed up to the Insiders Program because I wanted to play with some of the new features that came in AU. It's not the first time I've arrived here, but this time around it's a special kind of hell because of Microsoft's misguided policy on update management that makes it damn near impossible to opt out of updates.
