Updating Windows 10 to Build 1607
|
Steve Matzura
This is the second time my Windows 10 computer is attempting to update
to build 1607. The first time, it restarted, sat there, and did nothing for over an hour. Since when does a Windows update take over an hour? That's why I'm writing, thinking it's waiting for me to do something, but since I don't have a screen connected, I don't know what that could even be. If I really REALLY hafta-have-to, I'll drag out a monitor and get it looked at, but I thought I'd ask my on-call panel of experts first. Is this normal? Should I just wait and see what happens? or is it KNFB Reader time? As always, thanks in advance.

Hi,

For Anniversary Update (or for that matter, for any feature upgrade), this is normal for the upgrade to take about an hour (depending on processor speed, hard drive speed, data migration and other factors). Cheers, Joseph

Well well, wudda ya know! It took forty-five minutes, but it did its
thing. However, it got a bit uberzealous about some things. 1. Icons returned to the Task Bar I had specifically unpinned Cortana, File Explorer, and one or two other things from the Task Bar when I first installed Windows 10 a few weeks ago. Now they are back, and seemingly unremovable. 2. I see the former Notification Center button that was just to the left of the clock has been moved to the right thereof and renamed to "Action Center." Same window, same stuff, new name, new placement. 3. If you're using the Classic Shell, you'll get a dialog that says it has to reconfigure itself, you must press OK, it does its thing, you get another OK info dialog, and it's done. Hope this helps.

Hi, do you have Microsoft Security Essentials installed? The last time I

upgraded the installation stopped at 99% and would not go any further. I then got an 'Oops somethings gone wrong' message and the whole upgrade was a waste of time. Anyway,to cut a long story short, it was MSE that prevented the upgrade and as soon as I disabled it the upgrade went smoothly. I assume this can also happen if other anti-virus or malware software is installed. Just a thought which may help. John.

email being what it is, its tone could be misconstrued. Think about this: Microsoft wants to upgrade your operating system. Microsoft is what the "M" in "MSE" stands for. Now here's the head-scratcher: Why, or how, would Microsoft Security Essentials get in the way of upgrading a Microsoft product? That's MS getting in its own way! Do you not find that absolutely hillariously uproariously funny? I sure do! In fact, I don't even know that I *do* have MSE, or Defender, or whatever it's called in Windows 10, installed. I haven't gotten any notices that I'm unprotected, so I must have something, but whatever it is didn't hinder my update.

Windows Defender is included in Windows 10 by default.

Yes, very hilarious, but actually true. MSE isn't compatible with Windows

10, hence the default installation of Windows Defender in the new OS. However, your original message said you were upgrading to 1607, but did not say you already had Win 10 installed and were doing a manual upgrade of something that would have upgraded via Windows Update anyways. I assumed, therefore, that you were upgrading from a previous version which could have used MSE and, as with my example, actually happened under that scenario. You do have Windows Defender installed and protecting your system, and if you look in the 'notifications' you should see the message 'PC Status: Protected' which means your system is being protected. That is Windows Defender.
