I'm stuck on the latest insider build before the one that was released on slow ring yesterday. It's telling me that a driver is preventing me from completing upgrade. I haven't installed anything new and have been an Insider from day 1. Anyone know of a bug? I'm trying to remember if I read something about the latest nVIdia driver causing an upgrade issue.

Do you have anything like Intel Driver & Support assistant or any manufacturer tool like Dell's stupid Support Assistant? This sounds to me like a system driver is pending install or something?

Nope. It's my homebuilt PC. I haven't changed a thing. Only change I  really ever make is update my nVidia drivers. That's why I thought maybe they had an issue and issued a hotfix or something. I guess if worse comes to worse, I can just wait for an ISO and clean install. Just a pain...

I read something about the removal of a Realtek driver block, but not sure what patch that was in regard to.  Maybe it didn't get removed from the Insider Build.  It would be nice if they told you which driver....

 

EDIT:  This is what I read, I think.  https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-removes-windows-10-1909-realtek-driver-update-block/

I think he is on 20H1 though. It might just be a 20H1 related bug. @patseguin You should post your hardware info (motherboard chipset, cpu etc..)

I think that might have been the article I was thinking of. My error doesn't say it's the bluetooth driver, but the rest of the message is the same. I'll try that workaround when I get home, thanks!

I just checked and my Bluetooth is Broadcom, not Realtek. I did like in device manager and saw a ! next to my Xbox wireless adapter. I'm wondering if something went wrong with it and is causing this issue. I unplugged it and put it in a different port and the ! went away. When I click on learn more, I get this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4526620/updating-to-some-windows-insider-preview-builds-on-devices-with-certai

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
