    Anyone else having problems upgrading to 10049?

    I am running it on VMWare Workstation (on top of Win 7). I had 10041 doing just fine. When I went to update to 10049, it was a very slow process to do the actual update. However, when it went for a reboot, it got all the way to 23% total/79% setting up and just hung there (went down stairs for an hour or 2 and came back to find it was still at 23/79% :( When I rebooted at that point, it came back and said it was restoring my previous version of windows (just tried again this morning with same results).

    Anyone else experienced this? Am I missing something?

    Thanks and cheers......

    The update takes a long time to install.

    It took me a few hours to update from 41 to 49.

    My update from 10041 to 10049 was more than 7 hour while the clean install 20min!

    The Update needs a long time and as more Apps etc. are installed as longer it needs.

    I appreciate all the feedback. I thought surely I had some kind of problem or was doing something wrong.

    10 hrs??? OMG. Either I'll start the upgrade early in the day or just wait for the "slow" ring .iso version and hope it doesn't take anywhere near as long :(

    Thanks again.....Cheers.....

    this is the kind of thing why I always do a fresh install, it's a vm anyhow without anything mine there and avoid many problems
    the build with spartan worked right away this way. No blue screen freeze in login or that kind of problems

    running the upgrade under 2012R2 hyper-v.

    I suspect they disabled hdd write cache. Came here after four hours of patience. Discovered that I even had an account already. 9926 -> 10041 performed under the same conditions was much faster.

    taskmanager/resource monitor/process hacker on the HOST shows no more than 4Mb/s writes. plus inside the vm dismhost.exe is wasting cpu resources (most of the time goes 48% and does few kb/s writes)

    I'll go to sleep then tomorrow I'll cleanup old crap on this build[1][2] (not clickable hyperlinks, the forum does not let me) then attempt to upgrade again

    My upgrade took about 2 hrs. Thought it would never be over. I blamed it on the fact that I have W10 installed on an old drive I had laying around. It's dual booted with my W8.1 that's on an SSD which is really fast.

    it was really slow for me too on real hardware. not only slow, it also didn't install properly and reverted to 10041. i'm afraid i just can't update regardless of using ISO or WU.:(

    I tried once more and even after leaving it for ~7 hrs. it still didn't upgrade. Once again, when I restarted Win 10 (under VMWare Workstation) it restored to 10041.

    I'm giving up until I can get the .iso version. This is just crazy :(

    Since my Lenovo W520 Upgraded to 10049, most of the drivers has been buggy. Every time I boot up my laptop, it goes into safe mode. I've to reboot it to get it back to normal.

    So the sequence is Boot Up -> Restart immediately to be ok. Does anyone knows what's causing this problem\solution?

    ok this is the worst update.
    I paused the vm, went to sleep. the next day i woke up, i reset the vm, booted bare metal.

    it upgraded after a long two hours new black screen update logo, rebooted, all went nice, ending up with 10049 login screen.

    entered password, started music program, my jpegsaver screensaver started showing pictures, I left it unattended for a while.

    came back when music stopped, everything was frozen, no response to ctrl-alt-del. hard resetted.

    failed to boot, started automatic repair, automatic repairs failed.
    booted again in vm, now it wants to restore.

    currently in the process of restoring to 10041.

    conclusion: AVOID 10049!

    Took ~8 hours here. Now in Windows task manager it report 100% of disk usage all the time, something is wrong with this build for sure.

    guess what! I am already on SSD, and the vm already has two logical processors allocated! :)
    now I'm just copying my user profile from vhd and reinstall using 10041 iso.
