I’ve tried to load this twice, each time it stops with an error (no message) and resets me back to my previous version, and not always properly completed, I’ve had to use my previous images to restore (thank goodness I keep them). I’ve put the PC on 7 days hold from updating for now.
Anybody else suffering?
I had a similar experience a while back. I took MS something like six (yes, 6) builds to fix whatever it was causing it. I just let it roll back each time and tried the next one.
I recently went from 18880 to 18890 without a problem.
Who knows?
I tried again when 18894 came out. Again it failed and reloaded 18885, but incomplete.
All my Program Files and Program Files(x86) content went missing, apart from the essential MS stuff, yet strangely the registry entries were all OK. I found this out when I tried reinstalling stuff. Info such as registering codes was still there.
This was proving too much a labour of love so I gave up and returned to 18885 from my disc image.
To avoid the problem repeating I’ve dropped back to the Slow Ring.
I’ve not really had any problems with upgrades in the past, I’m wondering if the transition to 20H doesn’t sit right with my older hardware (motherboard is Asus P8Z68-V/GEN3)
