14 DAY TRIAL // Windows 10 Threshold 2 was launched last week, but some people are still waiting to get the new version in Windows Update, even if they’re already on RTM.
But a bunch of unlucky Windows 10 users have already received Threshold 2, but it fails to install because of an error that seems to freeze the deployment at different moments during the process.
As we already told you last week, Microsoft recommends users to remove their SD cards from devices that are being upgraded to Windows 10 Threshold 2 because there is a bug that causes the process to get stuck at 44 percent.
But despite this recommendation, it turns out that the issue is still taking place. And what’s more, some are seeing it on devices without SD cards.
Just try this
After searching the web for solutions on what seems to be a common Threshold 2 problem, we’ve drawn up this list of recommendations:
| 1. Disable antivirus solutions and other security apps that might block the process |
| 2. Unplug all peripherals that you don’t need (you should keep only the mouse and keyboard) |
| 3. Check if your computer is fully up to date before launching the Threshold 2 install |
| 4. Check if you’re running the latest versions of your drivers |
| 5. Remove any CD or DVD from your optical drives |
| 6. Unplug USB mouse when the process freezes |
| 7. Disable all Microsoft services before starting the setup |
| 8. Make sure you have enough space to install Threshold 2 |
| 9. Disable Secure Boot in BIOS |
| 10. Try to update using the Media Creation Tool |
