The big November update for Windows 10 TH2 Fail
parkd1:
Does any one know why the update failed and a way to fix it? It just said it failed and did not give me an error. Wondering if it logged the error somewhere. Thanks.
Boggin:
Some have found that by restoring to before the TH2 update and then a manual check for updates got the update installed.
Others have had to resort to using the Media Creation Tool which includes TH2 now, but I did see a warning about using that on an existing Win 10, but can't remember what it was and MS seemed to have pulled the website with the Upgrade Now button that would give you it.
Edit - Just remembered what the warning is.
When used on an existing Win 10 it can overwrite temporary files that are needed if you ever wanted to revert to your previous Windows version - but if you are past that stage then that would be academic.
Shane:
Also MS did pull the TH2 update for a few days because of a major bug in it where it didnt remember your privacy settings and some other things and then they put a new version of it out.

@Shane
Should I have my dad try the update again and if it fails again where does 10 keep the error info so I can look at it to see if it can be fixed. I did get it to in stall on there laptop. The question is How would I know if the the first version or the new reissue version with the fixes? Will it tell me to reinstall it to get the fixes or is there other update with the fixes? Thanks
Boggin:
This is the re-released version which may self install through Windows Updates.

I did read somewhere that for those who had already installed it that this version will overwrite the bad bits in the previous version, so it may install again on their laptop.
This article lists the settings it may have changed for some.
