This is the error I'm getting upgrading to v. 1709 and I'm going to have to research this one more thoroughly later.

I'm not surprised this machine is having difficulty. It's at least 5 years old and the drivers haven't been updated by the manufacturer for about 2 years now, since shortly after Windows 10 came out.

The above error at first blush seems to indicate Windows Update is having issues with either my firewall, AntiVirus software, both, or something else. I'm not about to disable either while connected to the Internet so I'll be downloading the ISO and updating from that once I disconnect the machine (physically) from the 'net.

For the record, this is the first Windows Update in a number of years I've had any difficulty with. My experience has typically been good so I guess I'm due. :-)

Well this is certainly interesting.

My AMD FX-8350 on an ASUS 990FX R2.0 motherboard with 32GB of Memory and an NVidia 750TI Video Card updated to Windows 10 Creators Update *flawlessly.* I was expecting this machine to have several issues updating and was pleasantly surprised that none happened. In fact, the entire update took under 45 minutes once the updates were downloaded.

My Intel i3 on an ASRock H87M-ITX with 16GB of memory and an NVidia 1060 Video Card is having issues with Windows 10 Creators Update complaining that it doesn't like the default Windows Firewall settings, and to take the firewall DOWN in order to to the update.

I'm sorry, but that's just laughable!

My Intel i5 4690K on a Z97 motherboard with an AMD Radeon RX480 with 32GB memory and an SSD Raid updated fine, zero issues.

Finally, three Virtual Machines running on VMWare Workstation on my my FX-8350 and my Intel i5 4690k all updated without incident.

I'll spend some time tomorrow looking at the i3 with the ASRock H87M-ITX motherboard to see what that issue could really be. I suspect it's not really the default settings on the Windows Firewall but will work through that then.
