Fall Creators Update 1709 - Upgrade does not happen through Windows Update

The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update - 1709 launch on 17th Oct has already started rolling out and already lot of people have started getting the updates. We have already come across with an issue with the updates that are not not being installed. It's observed that after the updates are downloaded, when you restart the computer the updates take very long time to install and it gets stuck at the end getting the failed message, and it says that Rolling back Changes.

Every time you perform the updates still you will face the similar problem. We have gathered a set of process that you can follow and take care of the problem.

Open the PowerShell in Admin mode and execute these commands one after the other.

• net stop wuauserv

• net stop cryptSvc

• net stop bits

• net stop msiserver

• ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

• ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old

• net start wuauserv

• net start cryptSvc

• net start bits

• net start msiserver

Once you have executed these commands restart the computer,

Open the website for Windows 10 to download.

Select Update Now from the above option.

Once updated you will see the "Windows Update Assistant" downloaded. Open the program and follow the instruction.

Alternatively the other option to resolve the issue is by creating the Windows 10 Installation Media.

To create the Windows 10 Installation Media, follow the below steps.
