update from insider 16251 to 16257 green screened twice but update - Microsoft Community

insider upgrade 16251 16257 green screened twice , restored previous version. view update history says "feature updates (1) windows insider preview 16257.1 installed! windows version still shows build16251.rs3_release 170721-2122

both green screens reported system thread exception not handled.

my 16251 installed iso created previous attempt upgrade earlier build 16251. converted esd download iso , did totally clean install few days before trying upgrade 16257.

i have tried many suggestions around green screen. including disconnecting internet once downloads done, disconnecting every single drive , device not required boot bare minimum, stopped non-ms services , sorts.

i had hoped ms have sorted although doesn't affect everyone, prevent substantial number of insiders upgrading according troll of forums across net. rather defeats object of being insider if update system broken.

both green screens reported system thread exception not handled.

have looked dump see involved?  perhaps can avoid using or can learn use differently avoid problem scenario.

oh.  sounds aren't getting final boot.  there kinds of clues in various telemetry logs available.  find recent use find of written , sort lastwritetime.

e.g. here use in powershell.  need start root because there recent diagnostics squirreled away in other directories c:\windows

cd \

ls  -re  -fi *  -fo  -ea:silentlycontinue  |  sort lastwrtitetime  |  ft  lastwritetime, length, fullname  -autosize  -wrap
