[DISCUSSION] Windows 11 Build 26x00 (PC) [24/25H2 Retail- GE-release]

Wait, how does an offline upgrade install work? I was under the impression that upgrade installs can only be performed online. Either I missed something in the last few years, or I misunderstood your message. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the latter, apologies if so.

 

Anyone have this bug in paint in 6899, opens almost blank white but after swtching to white then dark again it works as intended?

 

@Enthousiast The link doesn't work, I arrive on the forum page

 

Am experiencing my first strange issue in a while now...
25H2 26200.6901 (although I did notice it just starting to happen this morning before being offered this latest update too)

At random intervals, around 30 seconds or so, all my icons are refreshing, both desktop, and in an explorer window.
They flicker back to the white page default icon for a split second and then return.

I've already tried a number of different things, and it hasn't helped.
- Updated NVIDIA drivers to the latest
- sfc scannow
- DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
- DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
- DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
- Deleted the Icon Cache

Code:

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
attrib -h IconCache.db
del /f IconCache.db
cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer
attrib -h thumbcache_*.db
attrib -h iconcache_*.db
del /f thumbcache_*.db
del /f iconcache_*.db
start explorer

Nothing seems to have fixed it, quite annoying.
Any ideas?

 

Error - 0x800f0983....
Can't not install the update

 

Have you tried resetting default associations also ...apps/default apps?

Stop-Process -Name explorer -Force

try these and dont set attributes yourself, windows will give the right permissions

del /f /s /q "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\thumbcache_*.db"

del /f /s /q "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\iconcache_*.db"

Code:

Get-PSDrive -PSProvider 'FileSystem' | ForEach-Object {
    $drive = $_.Root
    Get-ChildItem -Path $drive -Include thumbcache*.db, iconcache*.db -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
        Remove-Item -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
}

that code will remove from all drives

Code:

Start-Process explorer

Code:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

As always ...use at own risk
I and mdl aren't responsible if anything goes wrong so be warned
