Microsoft recently rolled out its Anniversary update for Windows 10, and as expected users rushed to upgrade their devices. Unfortunately, there have been complaints about the devices freezing soon after installing the update.
Booting into Safe Mode and performing a clean boot doesn’t fix the issue, which implies that the issue has something to do with the Anniversary Update, users believe.
According to few post on Reddit, the problem can be fixed by creating Windows 10 Anniversary Update installation media using the Media Creation Tool and then perform an upgrade.
According to a Reddit user, “After that I inserted the USB flash disk into USB 2.0 port (3.0 have problems on some motherboards when booting from them), went to the USB flash folder, run setup.exe, chose ‘don't look for updates,’ unchecked ‘help microsoft with…’ and clicked trough the install app. I chose keep all my settings and personal documents, let it proceed, pc restarted and after installation I'm running the windows 10 1607 with no freeze after 20 seconds after startup (I did multiple restarts to test it).”
Users will have to wait for Microsoft to look into the issue and roll out bug fixing update.
