Microsoft explains why the update might not be available
Windows 10 Threshold 2 is now available for download, but the update isn’t showing up for a number of users across the world just yet, and they might have to wait a little bit longer to get it.
But in the original Windows 10 November update, Microsoft says there are three reasons the update might not be available on your PC right now: there are less than 31 days since you upgraded to Windows 10, you enabled options to defer updates, or you have already received Threshold 2 and you’ve removed it.
Obviously, you’re supposed to know if Threshold 2 was already running on your computer and you removed it, so let’s just focus on the first two scenarios.
The install failed twice on mine, it just kept rolling me back, and now no longer listed in updates.
This will be interesting it will mean that windows as a service will be meaningless if we are all on different builds.
I gave up waiting for WU, and used the MCT last night. It updated me directly to build 10586.3, and everything works fine.
Did you use the Upgrade This PC option or download the files to create an ISO?
I selected the Upgrade option.
Thanks, that what I am doing now, everything crossed it works
What and where is MCT.
