Ive had a similar issue with the update that came out on December 1st..it failed..and it wont redownload
I’m unable to find error 8007001x specific to Windows 10 Creators update. Did you grab a screen snapshot of the error by any chance?
My updates on five computers all went through without a hitch. Didn’t fix a Wacom mouse click issue but that’s been an existing irritant for quite a while.
Hope this helps.
btt
Put the ASUS in a big bag of rice for two weeks.
You can get an update to MS 10 Pro 64 bit from Windows 10 Home Edition for cheap on Bonanza.com

Screwed up my audio so bad I was online for FOUR hours( sorry including the upload time) and finally deleted it to restore where the audio works again. Last summer crashed this computers and needed a new drive, still do not have the sip drive installed which came with windows 8
Ok, let me try to put some of what is going on in layman’s terms.
The large scale updates such as the Fall Creator’s Update... think of them as more like a traditional service pack. They are about that serious in terms of what happens when you install them. This means that many of the more proprietary driver oriented laptops, possibly like a high end ROG laptop, may have issues if you have for example done several of the major updates or worse done the in-place upgrade a couple years ago from Windows 8, to Windows 10 and have continued from there until now. Windows is likely just a mess at this point.
I would expect some software and driver issues after all that especially on a laptop like yours.
If you can stomach it, creating a new USB install stick from the Microsoft Media Creation Tool page will create a Windows 10 installer with the latest Fall Creator’s update already in it.
If it has been a few years since your last reinstall, this would be a good time to install from scratch directly to the current version of Windows 10, and see how it runs. My guess? The laptop will run great again, and you’ll probably just need to download a couple of proprietary drivers from ASUS for that specific laptop and the latest video card drivers and you’ll be running better than before.
The downside is you’ll have to reinstall all your software.
Yes, Microsoft is pushing the big updates (mini service packs) a little more frequently than before and yes sometimes you need to start over. It’s not really different than Windows has ever been, MS is just too aggressive with their update methodology. They want everyone current all the time. That’s admirable, but the complexity of Windows has always meant that sometimes big updates cause big issues.
My single largest gripe with the current Windows Update system is that it is not anywhere near verbose enough about what updates ARE done, what updatese NEED to be done, and what state the system is in NOW. Further, it does absolutely need a separate menu on the update page for the large updates. Users do need the ability to say “no” permanently to some of the big updates for many various reasons. Eventually, sure, everyone needs to get current but maybe you know your machine doesn’t like the next update or it will break some piece of business software. You need to just be able to halt it entirely and let them pop up warning boxes or something once a day that you need to find a solution to the problem for security sake soon.
Windows by it’s very nature is a virus.
My 3 laptops are running with Linux (Ubuntu).
No problems,no hangups,no freeze ups, no issues.
Run that, then try the update again. The Creators Update takes a long time.
What is Windows Creator anyway. I don’t know if I have it and I haven’t knowingly used it either.
Let the ridicule begin!
My 6-year-old Acer laptop got the 1607 Cumulative Update last month and now has an inoperative ATI graphics card. The screen resolution can be changed but it is blurry even at the highest resolution. And to make matters worse, the brightness controls are disabled, along with screen size, color temp, all the fancy stuff that used to be there. The screen's always at full brightness so the battery lasts about 90 minutes before it goes to power-saving mode and disables many features like Bluetooth, WiFi, etc.
Problem could be fixed if AMD, who bought out ATI a few years back, would update the Radeon SD4200 series driver to be compatible with Windows 10. MS allegedly replaced the original driver with one that works, only it doesn't.
Ping for later because everything Microsoft does to me means 2 weeks of sweat, not much blood, but lots of tears.
My computer gave me a message (in the updates section) that it couldn’t be applied until the bios was update and something else needed to be done - I opted to make the changes and it loaded and worked fine.
You can refuse the update.
Set your WiFi or other internet access service setting to “metered” (works whether in reality it is or isn’t “metered”). When MS knows it’s metered, it knows you pay for access in time increments, and the update can take quite some time. So it thinks it must ask permission. It stops the automatic update, forcing it to ask you, each new startup, and you again just answer with the “ask me later” option.
I had apps that no longer worked at all in 1703. Rolled it back and have never let it run again.
OK, I can understand having to reboot when you're doing a kernel upgrade. What I do not understand is the need for MS-Windows to reboot sometimes 3 or 4 times. (When I did my first load of MS-Windows 7 in a VM it required 6). I can do a fresh install of Linux Mint from bare metal, and all it requires is to boot off media, then reboot once everything is installed. The first full update generally doesn't require a boot, though I normally do a shutdown/boot after that first major update just to make sure everything is fully stable.
To me it is astonishing how horribly primitive the MS-Windows update process still is after all these years.
