Hi guys, will the download for new windows be available in Europe at this hour? how do i check if it's actually working, or downloading, or anything else?
woke up this morning thinking 10 would be installed,have failed to install win 10 in winupdate history,i only had 4. something gig in BT folder,i'm now trying with the disc i've had for a while.
look for a folder $windows~BT in the root of C, if it's not there make sure you are up to date in WU and then reboot and check again. Make sure hidden files are viewable.
Incorrect, Windows uses BITS “Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)” this service allow windows to download all files and update that is used by Automatic Windows Update and other Windows components. BITS uses the idle bandwidth of network connection, when your connection is idle BITS silently download files in background.
either way you will have at least a shared/slow d/l of files to your machine even slow. You never will fill find a null upon a certain d/l direction like MS servers
Noticed something strange. $Windows.~BT just appeared today. However, if i right-click properties on the folder, it says it was created Friday, July 10, 2015, 9:39:12 AM
I noticed that too! I think it is probably because the files are being extracted, I've noticed extracted files seem to keep the original date of the folders.
My wife's laptop has not started it yet. She is using 8.1 pro with liget key and reserved her copy. Maybe it is being rolled out at different times or something. Maybe it might also do with your netspeed as she currently has 1 meg line. Im just glad i did mine a week ago
im from india ,,gmt+5.30 ....still didnt get any update nor that $windows.bt folder,,pc fully updated, tried restarting,ntg works
It has downloaded on my machine. Is there anyway to force it to update now instead of waiting till tonight?
Not sure, people who click the setup.exe get an error. There may be something in \windows\software distribution to kick it off, at least it looks like there could be.
