With myriad problems now evident, it may be best to skip the Anniversary Update for now
Given the massive testing and repeated refinement that brought us Windows 10 Anniversary Update, you’d think the rollout would proceed with few debilitating problems.
But you’d be wrong. From common installation problems to minor irritants to significant data destruction, reports of problems are mounting up.
You should consider dodging the update until Microsoft irons out the worst difficulties.
Everyone who's been paying attention to Windows 10 updates expected installation problems. Microsoft hasn’t yet delivered a Cumulative Update that installs on all machines, so it shouldn’t come as any surprise that Anniversary Update installs trigger a wide variety of failures, rollbacks, flakey Universal Windows programs, and error codes such as 0x80070020. I talk about all of those errors and more in my May article,
20 fixes for a Windows 10 update meltdown.
Mauro Huculak at Windows Central has a
different list of problems that have occurred -- problems connecting to the Microsoft servers, driver incompatibilities, insufficient storage errors, damaged installation files, and more.
