Windows 10 Fall Creators Update out 17th Oct

There is something wrong with the current update.

After it failed in the same way on both my main machine and netbook, I've just now tried to update my HP 7" tablet, using Windows Update Assistant.

Exactly the same issue. It gets to 30%, does the first reboot, starts to reload (window pane and circles below) then crashes to the light blue screen with the smiley face.

So that's 3 entirely separate and 'poles apart' different machines that fail in the same way. Something's currently amiss.

EDIT: It's due to DiskCryptor - I've only used it on one machine, but have it installed on all 3 and it's definitely the cause. Worked fine with previous Win 10 updates so there's obviously some weird incompatibility with something in the new update.

People have seem to have quickly forgotten how even with a decent setup, XP would give you a 'Blue screen' once a week.

That never happened to me. I still have XP running on a laptop and a few other devices, and it works fine. Don't think that machine has ever blue-screened.

I've ended up cancelling updates until next year, when the next major update is due (using the services.msc trick)

However, millions of machines haven't had that problem, which kind of proves the point that many other factors affect the users experience, good or bad.
Having three machines that acted the same just indicates that you probably shouldn't give the lottery a go this week...;):)

See my updated post above. DiskCryptor is to blame...

Yeah, I didn't win this week ;-)

These pro-Win10 people, who think there's nothing wrong with the update fiasco, must be Brexit supporters.
Living life in complete denial.

Mine has menu smoothly for weeks now, and I’m the hairy beast that your granny warned you of years back I also voted for Brexit!

My guess would be that Windows cannot close down a diskcryptor process when it needs to to progress the update.
