Patch reliability is unclear, but widespread attacks make patching prudent. Go ahead and patch, but watch out for potential problems. |
1st attempt, using Win10 Update advisor, resulted in PC freezing on what looked like logon screen, but with blank desktop. 2nd attempt, while I was working on a Word document (foolish me!) froze the PC again at 94% and had to do a hard power down to get it back. Below are PC specs. Any ideas? What happens when MS forces an update? Current is 1803, build 17134.619.

Update to original post: Ran DISM ….. /restorehealth routine and it failed. Found out that the Windows Update service was on manual. Changed back to automatic. Ran DISM ////restorehealth again and it ran successfully. Ran SFC /scannow and some corrupt files were fixed. Disabled 3rd party anti-virus & malware programs. Started 1809 update again via the Win10 Update Assistant and it’s now at 96% and no freezing yet. Keeping my fingers crossed.

UPDATE: After a painfully slow process, 1809 finally installed correctly.
