Why are you guys doing the USB thing? It's no longer necessary. Use Media Creation Tool to download the iso, double click on iso to mount it, click setup.exe, you just saved yourself many many steps. 30 min upgrade.
Unlike Upgrade through Windows Update, it resets your registry. But unlike a clean install you keep all of your programs and drivers and settings. It feels just like a clean install. Never do through Windows Update and never do a full clean install. It's not worth it. In-place upgrade is the way to go.

I'm updating it that way. I started at 11 AM and now it's almost 7 PM here, still not finished. If it's not done until 10 PM, I'm cancelling it and trying again tomorrow through the Windows Update.Why are you guys doing the USB thing? It's no longer necessary.

Nvidia driver version 397.31 is a mess with latest win 10 version. I'm not upgrading yet, gotta wait my 30 days pause update. Then I'll just update.
I get this error
Intel Corporation driver update for Intel(R) Management Engine Interface - Error 0x80240061

I disabled my AV and didn't touch it for a while. That helped me get it done fast.

I had problems with Rufus, so I switched to Universal USB Installer - Easy as 1 2 3 | USB Pen Drive Linux
Just format USB to FAT32, use ISO with install.wim and it should be able to pick up anything, UEFI/MBR/GPT.

Same here (don't have AV, but disabled WFC, VoodooShield, NVT OSA and NVT ERP 4) and managed to complete update in 45 mins. That's on a 10 year old PC, albeit with an SSD

For any that care: I did a couple of straight 1803 upgrades through Windows Update on systems with CF installed at my settings. I tried various things and the only issue (not an issue really, just a popup) was on a system with IE set as the default browser- in this case there was a popup that the Home page was being changed- and this actually referred to a Microsoft Edge "Please Use Me" thingy.
But other than that there was no difference in having CF active at my settings or having it totally deactivated.
As a sidenote, already knowing that you guys are light-years ahead of me on browser choices, I have to say that I am liking M Edge.

MY USB flash drive is already in GPT, and right now I am doing a full format in Disk Management. I have to figure out why the hell my USB bootable flash drive showed up in " Where do you want to install Windows " windows. It is not supposed to be there, and only my SSD should be there alone not with the USB labeled as Drive 1 Partition 1 and Type is Primary.
Would you say that it has improved a considerable amount compared to prior the update?

I spoke too soon. I had another system freeze. I will try to disable hardware acceleration on both Chrome and Firefox to see if it fixes issues.

I also experienced a few system freezes here for a few seconds with Firefox open.

I use CF with your settings and updated fine in 2+ hrs total with no problems except those I'm having with Controlled Folder Access (it could be user
so it's off now!). It even saved my settings and default Firefox browser. And I liked Edge before the update - it's snappy and has a clean interface, my #2 though I'm trying to be Brave now and like that as well. Sayonara Google!Installed it yesterday evening after hours of download (it was stuck on "initializing...").
When the installation is finished, my wifi password was gone and I had to replace it, ZAL was blocked due to the impossibility by starting the services, but after another reboot everything was fine.
I cleaned around 24GB of old Windows installation files using disk cleanup tool.
A tip, if you notice some slowdown, it is probably necessary to defragment the disk, in my case it was 24% of fragmented files.

went smoothly for me except some services were stopped and I had to manually start them back again, no permanent issues so far.

I also only have more alerts with Controlled Folder Access and added those apps:I use CF with your settings and updated fine in 2+ hrs total with no problems except those I'm having with Controlled Folder Access (it could be user
So i'm not sure if Controlled Folder Access is still useful when you have to create so many exceptions...
It should still be useful as long as you do not exclude malicious software or get hit with an attack that will perform RCE into an excluded process.
Either way, I recommend keeping your data backed up externally and online (use encryption before cloud service uploads) say on case the Controlled Folder Access feature ever were to fail, as a safety precaution.
