I did start to download the ISO but I just noticed that the Service Host process is using the network connection so probably downloading the update too.
I can get control panel, but not into PC Settings, the app store or anything related to that stuff (personalise desktop, windows update etc.) It's a bit annoying as I need to change some security settings in PC Settings in order to get my uni email to work.
I've run SFC, which reports there's a bunch of corrupt files that it can't fix. Was going to do a windows reset thing, but that's in PC Settings. (fail)
Must be a command prompt command you can run to open certain settings dialogs?
Windows Store is now working, but not PC Settings or Windows Update.
>>P.S. is Win 10 any good? do I want it? should I be upgrading my laptop to it in the middle of exam revision?
I guess that was a no.
We have 6 PCs waiting for an update. 5 of them failed to update with Windows error 80240020 (which a lot of people are reporting on t'interweb). My daughter's Windows 8.1 laptop updated without any problems.
I followed some suggestions to delete the update files from Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Downloads and restart the update from an Admin started cmd prompt with wuauclt.exe/updatenow
The Windows 7 PCs updated OK. The Windows 8.1 ones have failed so far.
Still beats multivariate calculus revision :-((
Just done a reset install, and it's still fucked. But now with the added benefit that it's also remove almost every third party application I had installed, despite being told not to :@
