Windows 10 Small form factor boards

[kurteb]

Windows 10 has trouble with small boards, even recent ones. The latest update bundle tries to install video drivers that makes the whole update roll back on restarting. When you tell it not to, and update your drivers before the update, it goes in after two more tries. Oh boy.

It sounds like you're experiencing issues with Windows 10 updates, especially related to video drivers causing rollback problems. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve these issues: 1. Update Video Drivers: Make sure your video drivers are up-to-date before attempting to install Windows updates. Visit the manufacturer's website (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) to download and install the latest drivers compatible with your hardware. 2. Check for Windows Updates: Before proceeding with major updates, ensure that your system is fully updated with the latest patches and updates from Windows Update. 3. Driver Rollback: If the latest driver is causing issues, consider rolling back to a previous version that was stable on your system. This option is available in the Device Manager under the properties of your video card. 4. Windows Update Troubleshooter: Run the built-in Windows Update Troubleshooter to automatically detect and resolve common issues with Windows Update. 5. Clean Boot: Perform a clean boot to start Windows with minimal drivers and startup programs. This can help identify if a third-party application or driver is causing conflicts. 6. System File Checker: Run the System File Checker tool to scan and repair corrupt system files that may be causing update failures. 7. Windows Update Repair: There is a dedicated Windows Update Repair tool that can help fix issues related to updating Windows. You can find this in the Windows Settings under Update & Security. If you continue to experience problems, it may be useful to reach out to Microsoft's support or community forums for additional assistance tailored to your specific hardware and software configuration.
