Windows 10 TP Build 9926 does not see 10041 build to do update?


Recommended Posts

I'm running the Windows 10 tp build 9926 and it has been working fine. I'm trying to update to the new 10041 build. I have the Windows update advanced setting: "Choose how preview builds are installed: set to "fast".  When I tell windows update to check for updates, it tells me my device is up to date.  I have already updated 2 other computers from 9926 to 10041 with no problem.

 

Has anyone else seen this issue?

Yeah, I'm on the same boat, it seems to be a wide spread issue, I cannot see the update no matter if I'm trying to upgrade to it from either 9926 or 10036, hopefully MS fixes the issue soon or we will need to wait for the .iso when it hits the slow ring.

Try erasing the Windows Update files:

 

Go to here:

  • C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download

Delete all files.

 

Restart PC.

 

Try again.

 

This will clean the Windows Update cache.

 

 

Edit: Haven't tried this method yet. Had my Windows installation downloading without any problems.

I have been trying for 12 hours now... clicking the check for updates button every 30 minutes. Just says there are no updates available for me. I've rebooted about 15 times now, cleared the cache as above. I even reverted back to Windows 8.1 because I thought it would then upgrade directly to 10041, but it doesn't do that so I'm back on 9926.

 

Help!

Meh. Drags me that you haven't been able to fix your issue.

 

Have you tried changing your Time Zone, or Location settings to US?

Go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability in regedit

 

Make sure...

BranchName = fbl_impressive

ThresholdRiskLevel = high

ThresholdInternal does not exist
ThresholdOptedIn does not exist

 

Restart your computer, check to see if you are on fast, and then check for updates.

 

If that does not work, it is an issue from Microsoft.

Oddly enough, the 'update' option from within the settings app actually worked for me, for the very first time. Seems it managed to keep most of my settings, with very little needed input needed from me afterwards.

 

Windows update, however, no longer works, either from the app, or via the control panel.(yes, I put it back)

 

Notifications, on the other hand, now seems to work even with uac switched off via registry.

I tried switching between slow and fast ring then checking, then rebooting, then checking etc, nothing works.

1. Disconnect from the network

2. Set to Slow Ring

3. Reboot,

Note: At this point you should be getting a OS change telling you to wait

4) Reboot

5) Set to Fast Ring

6) Connect network back

7) Reboot

8) Check for new updates

Ran into this same issue on my ASUS transformer.  9926 update keeps failing when trying to install an Intel display driver so I kept thinking that was causing the 10041 build to not show.  I'll also try Night Prowlers suggestion this afternoon.

Same here, any resolution?

I had the same issue with my graphics driver.  I solved it by going to Device Manager, and uninstalling the driver and then rebooting and letting it be reinstalled.

I have an Asus Tab (me400c) same issue, can't update to 10041. I also have the issue with the Intel video driver failing to install which is preventing other updates from working on 9926. I have removed the driver as suggested by bpa above and rebooted. The 10041 update is now recognized and downloading.

Thanks guys, tried both to no avail, it still finds no updates, I guess I'll wait for MS to fix it.

    • Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.

    • AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
