    Default Windows 10 upgrade and installation errors

    The Internet is full of posts in several forums that Windows 10 upgrade and/or installation failed. The reasons are manifold. You can feel happy if you get a qualified error code / error message and not simply a meaningless message like this



    as it went viral on Twitter: "You made the mistake of upgrading / installing" is meant?

    The table below lists the most common upgrade and installation errors, and a few things you can try to fix the problems. If you continue having problems upgrading or installing Windows 10, contact .

    1. Code 0x80073712
      This error might mean that a file needed by Windows Update is damaged or missing.
    2. Code 0x800F0923
      This error might mean that a driver or other software on your PC isn't compatible with the upgrade to Windows 10. For info about how to fix this problem, contact Microsoft support.
    3. Code 0x80200056
      This error might mean that the upgrade process was interrupted because you accidentally restarted your PC or signed out of your PC. Try upgrading again and make sure your PC is plugged in and stays turned on.
    4. Code 0x800F0922
      This error might mean that your PC couldn't connect to the Windows Update servers. If you're using a VPN connection to connect to a work network, disconnect from the network and turn off the VPN software (if applicable), and try upgrading again.
      The error could also mean there isn't enough free space in the System Reserved partition. You might be able to fix this problem by using third-party software to increase the size of the System Reserved partition.
    5. Generic errors
      These are generic errors that might appear any time a Windows update fails. You'll need to determine the specific error code to investigate how to best resolve this problem.
      1. Error: We couldn't complete the updates. Undoing changes. Don't turn off your computer.
      2. Error: Failure configuring Windows Updates. Reverting changes.
        You can find the error code for the failed update by viewing your update history. Look for the update that wasn't installed, note the error code, and then contact Microsoft support.

        To view your update history in Windows 8.1:
        1. Open Windows Update by swiping in from the right edge of the screen (or, if you're using a mouse, pointing to the lower-right corner of the screen and moving the mouse pointer up), Selecting Settings, choosing Change PC settings, and then selecting Update and recovery.
        2. Select View your update history.

        To view your update history in Windows 7:
        1. Select the Start button. In the search box, type Update, and then, in the list of results, Select Windows Update.
        2. Click View update history.

      3. Error: The update isn't applicable to your computer.
        This error might mean that your PC doesn't have the required updates installed. Check to make sure that all important updates are installed on your PC before you try upgrading.

    6. Codes 0xC1900208 – 0x4000C
      This error might mean that an incompatible app installed on your PC is blocking the upgrade process from completing. Check to make sure that any incompatible apps are uninstalled and then try upgrading again.
    7. Codes 0xC1900200 – 0x20008 & Codes 0xC1900202 – 0x20008
      This error might mean that your PC doesn’t meet the minimum requirements to download or install the upgrade to Windows 10.
    8. Codes 0x80070070 – 0x50011, Codes 0x80070070 – 0x50012 & Codes 0x80070070 – 0x60000
      This error might mean that your PC doesn’t have enough space available to install the upgrade. Free some space on the drive and try again.


    Src:


    EDIT:

    If you’re having serious issues with Windows 10 after an upgrade, you can always have the operating system delete itself and reinstall without removing your files.

    1. Click or tap on the Start button in the bottom left corner of your screen.
    2. Click or tap on Settings.
    3. Click or tap on Update & Recovery.
    4. Click or tap on Recovery.
    5. Click or tap on Reset This PC.


    Whether you choose delete all of your files along with Windows 10 is up to you. Once done, deleting, Windows 10 will install itself again. This should fix any issues you have with the operating system.

    For me it's never time to switch to Linux! Never! Linux, a tragedy. Only available on ~1.62% of desktop systems ( 11/2014 ) .





    Wondering when Microsoft or Windows OS will get rid of their bad reputation?

    Actually the number of complaints is, to be fair, small and, probably expected by Microsoft, which has done everything in its power to mitigate a sort of wave effect of bad Windows 10 upgrade experiences.

    I just had my first BSOD since installing upgrading from Windoze Hissta to W7.....oh! That's Right! I've just upgraded to Windoze 10! I hope it is a one off, or I'll be performing a roll back, real quick. All I was doing was replying to a thread here. Maybe Billy doesn't like Austech.......

    Yes, several Linux distributions over the past 15-20 years.

    WORD OF WARNING

    Windoze shares your passwords

    A feature designed to easily let people share WiFi passwords with friends automatically shares your WiFi passwords with all Outlook, Skype and Facebook contacts who also use Windows 10, experts have warned.

    To change your settings, go to Network settings then Manage Wi-Fi settings (Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi > Manage Wi-Fi Settings).

    There, you can choose which contacts you share WiFi settings with.

    You can toggle the setting to discover friends' Wi-Fi networks, or opt not to.

    If you want none of it, you can uncheck every box.

    Did I say it was an error? Though, in light of the attached article, that bloke might have considered his "security" was in error.......
