The update to 10 does not arrive. What to do?

An update for Windows 10 called October 2018 Update has been released. Many doubted that it would happen at all on October 2nd, even me, but nevertheless, it happened. If I'm not mistaken, the build wasn't even in the Release Preview branch, but the release took place. Correct me if this is not true.

However, the update is already available and today I will tell you how to officially update to the October update. Yes, this is another update guide.

In general, successful update!

Previously unobserved problems with Windows OS updates unexpectedly manifested themselves in the new version of this operating system - in Windows 10. Windows 10 does not find or see some new patches. At the same time, Microsoft itself is behaving more than strangely. The recent service pack number 10586 is not recognized by the update center, although Windows 10 itself signals that the corresponding device has received updated software.

In such a situation, it is quite difficult to understand: either the Windows 10 update has not arrived, or it has been installed, but is not displayed in the Update Center. The user can only guess. A separate story relates to those users who decided to switch to Windows 10 from previous versions of this operating system. But everything is simpler here. The free upgrade period from versions 7 and 8 has expired. And even if your “eight” is equipped with all the service packs, you will not be able to upgrade to the “ten” for free.

There is one loophole for users of previous versions of Windows - to get an update to Windows 10 from Microsoft's page intended for people with disabilities. If there is no update there anymore, then the only reasonable option left is to pay money for a copy of the OS.

There is no point in searching for and installing pirated copies - Microsoft takes ownership issues regarding the new version of Windows quite seriously. It will be possible to “slip through”, but it’s unlikely to normally use an OS based on the concept of services. You can find out the prices and conditions for purchasing Windows 10 on the company’s official website, and we will deal with other, no less important, things. Why don't they appear? Why aren't they downloading? Why doesn't the system find them on the network? And why is there no clear answer from the “Small Soft Ones”? We will devote our short note to these issues.

What is 1511 build 10586?

Patch 1511 build 10586 is the first truly major modification of Windows 10, which has no analogues yet in terms of the scope of fixes and modifications to the system functionality. Getting it is a normal desire of any advanced user. However, big problems arose along the way. Not everyone who did not disable the option to automatically receive service packs in their system received it. What's the matter? The following rather strange things happen:

• The patch in the form of an ISO image has been removed from the manufacturer's website. That is, there is no way to download and install it manually. Why this happens is a mystery.
• There is also no way to use the built-in Media Creation Tool.
• But the Update Center will accept this patch, but it will not arrive simultaneously to all users, as happened before, but in “waves.” That is, a certain order will be established for clients to receive patches. Moreover, the first to receive this patch will be those who updated to “ten” within 31 days from now.

This is how we care about the consumer. In order to discourage newcomers from returning to their usual platforms, they are offered candy first. There are many questions about this “marketing” that, as usual, have no answers. Let us repeat, trying to use the manual technique of installing updates is pointless - the updates are not downloaded and, at my pike’s command, “Center” does not find them.

One technical problem

Microsoft warns: the patch does not arrive for another reason - the “Update from many places” option may be activated on your system. There is no chance of getting the patch if this feature is enabled on your system.

Thus, if the update has not arrived, do the following:

• Head to Settings => Update & Security.
• Go to the “Advanced Settings” subsection of the “Update Center” section.
• Pay attention to the item “Choose how and when to receive updates” and disable the function of receiving patches from different sources in it.

These are all the opportunities that you can really take advantage of at this moment. We hope we have answered your question: why is patch number 1511 build 10586, also called “Threshold 2”, not on your system?

Windows 10 updates may be different: 10041, 9860, 1511, 10586 - more likely to appear in the future.

At the same time, the Windows 10 update itself can be considered from two positions - updating from older versions (seven or eight) and directly obtaining new versions of the ten itself.

Some computer or laptop owners have problems in both cases.

After the release of version 10586, it became available for everyone. Why?

Microsoft is partly to blame, although it’s probably not their fault, it’s just how they wanted it. They have removed the link from their website to the free download and subsequent manual installation of update 10586 as an ISO image.

Now they send him out in “waves”, in other words, not everyone at once - “happiness” will have to wait. If you are standing in a “queue”, it means you have to wait.

The first reason why Windows 10 update 10586 does not arrive

If you have the “Updates from multiple places” option enabled, then you need to disable it - it will not allow you to get the new version (that’s what Microsoft decided).

To do this, open “update and security”, select the “Advanced options” section and disable this feature in the update center. Then you can start searching for available Windows 10 updates.

Update to Windows 10 version 1511 or 10586 manually if it doesn’t work automatically

If the automatic options do not work, you can download version 1511 yourself. There are 2 ways to do this trick.

The first is to use the Media Creation Tool utility (you can download it for free from the Microsoft website), launch it and click on the “Update Now” button.

The second is to download the Windows 10 ISO file and create a bootable USB flash drive or disk.

Then you can perform a clean installation through the BIOS or overlay the old version without leaving the system by clicking on the setup.exe file

Reason three why there is no upgrade to Windows 10 from 7

If you currently have the current operating system seven, then Service Pack 1 must be installed on it, otherwise the update will not come.

Also, seven or eight must be completely legal and activated

One more thing. Users on the Home version can only upgrade to Windows 10 Home, while those on Pro can upgrade to dozens of Pros.

Reason four why there is no update to Windows 10 – changes at Microsoft

Microsoft has changed its decision on how the latest version of Windows 10 10586 can be installed.

If some time ago users were advised to download the ISO image and update manually, now all those who have not yet updated to ten will have to perform a clean installation of the first version of RTM and, after they have done this using Windows Update, install all updates , released from July until now.

This strange decision will certainly hinder migration to Windows 10, but sooner or later, the top ten will reach all compatible computers and laptops, free or for a fee - the operating system from Microsoft has more advantages than those offered by OS X or GNU / Linux .

Moreover, interest in Windows 10 is increasing. By the way, anyone who doesn’t upgrade for free will have to fork out $120 for the basic Home version or $200 for the professional version.

Free updates are available only in new versions starting from version seven. Therefore, if you are still using Vista, then nothing will work for you. Good luck.

Microsoft has launched a promotion during which every owner of the Windows 7 and 8 operating systems can upgrade to "Ten" for free. The system finds all the files necessary for installation through Windows Update. They are downloaded automatically, after which the update is ready to install.

Typically, users do not need to worry about downloading - icon appears automatically. However, some computers take a long time to receive an update to Windows 10. This article describes what to do if there is no notification icon in the tray « Get Windows 10", why this might happen and how long to wait for the download to start.

Unlicensed version of the operating system

Windows 10 will only be available to those with activated licensed versions. If you hacked your OS using activator programs or used someone else's key, the Tens will not start loading.

Of course, there are ways to enable it manually, but there is no point - the new system checks for activation before installation begins. Pirated versions do not pass this test. In this case, the only option that can be done is purchase a licensed version. At the moment, there are no other possible ways to get Windows 10 with an activated OS.

If you activated the OS using an activator, and then after a while entered the license code, “Ten” may still not download. In this case, it is necessary to either clean the system registry, or install the system again, activate it and immediately update it.

Enable Windows Auto Update

Windows 10 boots through the system Update Center. Many users disable automatic downloading and installation of updates on their computer. As a result, no files will be downloaded independently. In this case, you can either start searching for new updates manually, or configure the settings Center.

To do this you should do the following:

After this, your personal computer will begin searching for updates on the Microsoft server. During some time The Windows 10 installer will download and you will see a message prompting you to upgrade. If it does not appear for a long time, you will have to go other ways.

Microsoft server load

Sometimes the update may not start if the current no free Microsoft server. This is not a problem or a bug - just . In this case, you don’t need to do anything, just wait. How long to wait depends entirely on Microsoft.

You can easily check for a downloaded update. To do this you need to do the following:

This folder contains the “Setup.exe” file. Do not run it under any circumstances. If you try to "do everything out of turn", the server will simply delete all the files and you will have to start downloading them all over again.

If this folder is not there, you must delete all the contents of the directories " C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" And " C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore", then run the update manually.

Command line

If all the latest patches are already installed on your personal computer, but for some reason the notification still does not arrive, you will need run the utility manually. The easiest way is through Windows command line. You will need to do the following:

You can find out how long you have to wait at Windows Update. You will know that an update has arrived by the corresponding icon in the tray. It usually appears when everything is ready for installation.

So you force update. Windows 10 will start loading automatically. No errors associated with this command were noticed - everything installed without any problems.

Editing the system registry

If the previous method did not give anything, and the update notification still does not appear, perhaps in the registry of your operating system for some reason no corresponding entry.

In this case it is necessary open registry editor and force the entry to be created manually.

Reboot personal computer and restart the search for updates via Center. Everything should start loading.

Windows 10 Installation Media Creation Tool

For those users who do not have the ability to launch an update using standard means, Microsoft has developed special utility. It can be downloaded from the official website. Using the program you can download Windows 10 files to your computer and start installation right now. After this, you can create a boot disk or flash drive, or start the update process.

If icon Get Windows 10 is not displayed in the tray, and you are tired of waiting, you can easily speed up this process.

To do this you need to do the following:

This way you can forcefully start the process, without editing the registry and without using the console.

Note! Often the data takes a long time to load, and the computer seems to freeze. Actually this is not true.

Video on the topic

The sensational new product from Microsoft has already managed to awaken tangible interest on the Internet, so much so that many rushed to order it. They say that game performance will increase by 50%, and all updates to your favorite programs will occur automatically. But everything is not so simple, because the new operating system does not arrive immediately. First, it must be adapted and sent over the Internet to the customer’s computer. Let's say a user has read a lot of articles about Windows 10 on the Internet and still... After the presentation, our hero was asked to go through three steps:

• Reserve the system.
• Wait for the update and install.
• Enjoy the new operating system.

Everything would be fine, but it stalled at the second point, and the update to Windows 10 simply does not arrive. There are typical reasons for such an unpleasant situation.

Wrong version

For users of the iconic product, certain rules have been established that allow... So, you need to own an activated version of the Windows operating system, either the 7th generation or the 8.1 generation. This is a mandatory requirement that must be met. If it is not completed, you will have to buy a new license. If everything is in order, then the update is available completely free of charge, and the programs he once purchased are left for the user. But there is one exception: if they are incompatible with Windows 10, then you will have to say goodbye to them until the developers make additions specifically for the new operating system. And there are versions of Windows operating systems for which backup is not available at all. In this situation, you will have to do a clean installation from USB and buy an installation key.

This policy was not thought out in vain. The thing is that the purchase of Windows 8 series occurred only by 20%. That is, only 20% of all consumers using Microsoft products decided to switch to Eight. Others remained on the 7th generation, or decided to use the wildest option and install Windows XP on their computer. Since Microsoft employees also want to eat lobster, the situation with sales of the 8th series has strained them, to put it mildly. Now a version has been released that is installed free of charge for owners of the 7th and 8th generations in order to awaken their interest in the company’s new products. We will see in the distant future whether such a move will help.

No automation of updates

Like everything in this world, some things may be missed in the operating system. For example, the lack of automation of the Update Center in Windows. That is, a new update has already been released to the world, but your operating system is not updated due to the lack of such settings. To do this, you need to find the Update Center (go to Start and type Update Center in the search) and go through all the points. There is also a special Update Log, which regularly records which software additions have arrived and been installed. If nothing is updated, then it is better to correct this situation immediately.

Update Center is the cornerstone of automatic installation of Windows 10. The idea behind the developers is that the user simply clicks on the tiles in the lower right corner and waits for their system to be checked for compliance with dozens of requirements. Unfortunately, for many, Update Center is simply disabled, so it cannot run all the Microsoft add-ons that fix vulnerabilities.

No license

The most interesting thing is when there is no reason at all for Windows to be updated to the latest version. After all, manufacturers who offer automatic system updates think that users use exclusively licensed software. By the way, the top ten itself regularly checks not only the legality of using programs, but also everyone in general. An illegal request to install tens concerns those users who used a non-version of Windows generations 7 and 8. There are several ways out:

• The first is to activate the operating system.
• The second is to buy a new license.

Why don't many people like the second option? Because it's paid. But, you need to pay extra for new technologies. After all, developers have no need to work for the benefit of the entire planet in the style of volunteers. No money for software products - no resources for new developments. So we need to think about maybe sponsoring these brave guys who are trying so hard to make our lives better.

School network

Yes, if the computer is connected to a network that belongs to a school or any other educational institution, then the update will not download. Why did they decide this? Well, that's it. This is exactly the decision that the owners of Microsoft made in view of the 50% discount for all educational institutions, including schools.

Summary

So, typical problems like why the update hasn’t arrived can be solved by simply re-downloading it in the Update Center. The computer downloads all the improvements that eliminate defects and holes in the operating system. If such a procedure does not help, then it is worth thinking about whether these are necessary at all? If yes, then the internet is full of manual methods to solve such problem. For example:

• You need to open notepad and enter the code.

• Afterwards, it is advised to save what you received in notepad to the file ReserveWin10.cmd.
• Then you should open the CMD command line in administrator mode and enter the command C:/Temp/ReserveWin10.cmd.

This command runs a system compliance check for Windows 10. But is it worth running third-party code on your dear and beloved computer? Everyone decides for themselves.
