Can't Upgrade from Build 10130

[Snowbooks1419]

Hello,

 

I am running Windows 10 Build 10130 in a virtual machine on my laptop. I went to Settings > Windows Update to try to update to Build 10158/10159. However, the update was not shown. I clicked "Check for Updates," but a message came up saying that my system was up to date.

 

How can I update to Build 10158/10159?

I have heard a few people with this issue...assume you are on fast ring.....if someone doesn't have a quick fix....you can search the usual sources for an ESD of build 10159 X64 and use a decryt script (command prompt at root of C) it to ISO, burn the ISO and do the upgrade that way...bit of work but gets you out of a bind...Cheers

Got the above link from member timster and it decrypts easy and fast...just find an ESD...instructions in download. There are others but this one works real nice.

i have the same problem, i'm using the en-gb x64 build of v10130. Installing an ISO of v10158 does not activate for me so i'm trying to upgrade from 10130 instead but no update is showing I have tried fast ring and slow ring btw.

Seems like a tough problem and a lot of work. If I ran into this problem, and no quick fix was posted...I, myself would try a clean install of the new build and be on an MS account and do the verify account through your email as MS will ask you in the process.....If I see a quick fix, I will post back...Cheers...

There is a iso on 'the usual kickass goto site' that is a bootable iso and from a trusted source. 

As usual, wont link to it but if you know where to look, its easy to find.

In the same boat as OP. Running 10130 in a VM. Changed from Slow ring to Fast ring. Installed all the Windows updates. Says no updates are available. Restarted the Windows Update server from the Task Manager, too. (There's an article on the front page about trying to un-stick your Windows Update.)

 

I can be patient, though. I'm actually up a bit past my bedtime. I probably just need to wait for my status on the Fast ring to process. If I learn anything, I will share it.

In another thread...warwagon said he stopped the WU service, did a disk clean and restarted the WU service...and it worked...others waited and did a reboot a few times till the update showed......check out the Win10 beta thread for today....Cheers...

If the update is not showing up try 2 things.

 

1st stop the windows update service and rename the c:\windows\softwaredistribution folder to softwaredistributionold then start Windows update back up. If that doesn't work

 

Try

 

Oddly enough this next thing actually worked on my Windows 10 Pro 32bit HP stream 7 tablet

 

Not taking credit the following... I copy and pasted it. Source at the bottom.

Open update utility

Click Check for updates (The screen changes briefly)

Immediately click Advanced Options (after the screen change)

Scroll down and select fast ring

Do not click back or alt-tab to any other app, just wait for 2 minutes.

 

You may check your drive activity light if you want or if you have resource monitor open in another window/screen, sort by disk Writes and look for c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DeliveryOptimization\f6352d14a5741(Snipped because its long)

 

Once you have drive activity or see that in resource monitor you can click the back button above and you'll see the download in progress.

This has to be done with speed. When you click the check for update buttons some of the text goes away and the advanced options link moves up, be ready for that and click it quickly. DO NOT CLICK IT BEFORE IT MOVES.

 

Took me like 4 attempts before it finally worked

I've been having this same problem on my Surface Pro 3. Reinstalling 10130 from the ISO didn't even help. I'm currently restoring Windows 8.1 and then I'll attempt to upgrade it to Windows 10 from there and see if I have better luck.

But, if you do a clean install from that ISO, will you be able to successfully activate Windows?

I have a Core i7 920 machine with 12 Gb of Ram (3.8 GB in use, the rest available).

I have manually installed Windows 10 10130 ISO on the machine because it would not install with Windows 7 Ultimate running.

Windows 10 Build 10159 wants to install, but won't because of some kind of error that causes the following to pop up:

Try this:

From the WinX Menu, open Command Prompt (Admin). Type the following one after the other and hit Enter:

net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
This will stop the Windows Update related Services.

 

Next browse to the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder and delete all the files and folders inside. Press Ctrl+A to Select All and then Delete.

 

If the files are in use, and you are unable to delete some files, restart your device. After rebooting, run the above commands again. Now you will be able to delete the files from the mentioned Software Distribution folder.

After you have emptied this folder, you may restart your computer or you may type the following commands one at a time in the CMD, and hit Enter to restart the Windows Update related Services.

net start wuauserv
net start bits
Run Windows Updated again and see.

I hope MS gets back to us with an answer for that. Very annoying! I'm running 10158 from an ISO on the web but it won't activate
