Hi,
It turns out that folks running the
v1607 AU (Anniversary Update) which came out this Aug. 2nd (last month) usually don't have problems with the updates. I'm running five (5) W10 machines; 2 of them are on the
v1607 AU version. However, there is a problem with the AU, and that is that only 1 person I know of anywhere has been able to successfully get an earlier version of W10 (
v1511) released July 29 2015 updated to
v1607 AU. This person is on this forum only recently. Everyone else who has attempted this has failed.
The only way to get a working W10 computer to v1607 AU at this point in time, is by downloading a W10 ISO file from Microsoft site and using their MCT tool to create bootable install media on DVD or USB.
So, I'm not sure how you got to the
v1607 AU Build 14393.105, but that is not quite the latest. There is a newer build of
v1607 AU, and that is now 14393.187 from last week. In any case both my W10 machines (1 is a desktop PC, and the other is a laptop) with the
v1607 B14393.187 on them were achieved by Clean Install method using the Microsoft MCT tool. This means that on a healthy, working W10 computer with v1607 AU on it, you should be able to achieve the update to the latest build.
Microsoft has been only recently (the last 2 weeks or so) pushing out this latest September rollup update. However, it has similar problems to the first v1607 AU release on August 2nd. This time the update came into my laptop and completed; however it messed up like 15 keys on my keyboard and no repairs I could do could fix it.
So I wiped it out and did the Clean Install via Microsoft install tool; it worked perfectly no problem.
This most likely means that you have a different problem with your computer as referenced by Neemo above. The first thing you need to know and to do is
TO DISCONNECT ALL SECONDARY INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL HARD DRIVES WHEN DOING ANY KIND OF WINDOWS OS LEVEL UPDATE!! There are multiple problems with letting your computer attempt Microsoft push updates when having any kind of secondary drives plugged into your computer. If there are any Index corruptions or physical failures that produce read sector errors, that will cause your W10 update to
FAIL!! This has been true for 20 years. The average person is not aware of this.
The next step you have is to determine if your existing W10 system is healthy or not exclusive of having those 2 external hard drives plugged in or not.
If your computer is having a problem, then the new W10 update will fail no matter what. The fact that several of us here on WF have been able to get to the newest build of W10 (
v1607 B14393.187) successfully means that it is possible for this update to install on a health W10 computer. This also means that yours needs repair. With all of this said, you can proceed to test your system with the troubleshooting link I am giving you shortly. You do need to understand that if you run our tests, and any of them fail you could be looking at a complete W10 reset or reinstall or replacing any faulty hardware found or nasty viruses infecting your system.
There are already viruses that are now targeting W10 systems, and one of the first apps they are targeting for attack is the Windows Update (WU) app. If you have a virus infection, it could be the reason why your W10 update is continuing to fail.
After removing all your secondary drives, follow the instructions in this link to get your computer healthy again:
Windows 10 - Unclickable Task Bar.
Once you complete these procedures, and remove all viruses found, windows registry corruption, and your hardware (RAM & Hard Drive) test Ok, make sure you have your
WUDO settings in W10 set to maximum so your computer will allow the latest W10 update to come into your computer and run. Heré's a link on how to adjust your
WUDO settings:
Windows Update Delivery Optimization: FAQ.
Lastly, here's a warning you should be aware of about the dangers of leaving your external hard drives plugged into your computer all the time:
Restore help needed. Please read my
POST #4 on this thread about the dangers of leaving external drives plugged into your computer!
You have some reading to do.
Best of luck to you
