Funny thing is I downloaded latest iso and clean installed that, so I have the anniversary update running perfectly now so it's just the update process that screwed things up....as they so often do.
In the past I've noticed upgrading win 7 to 8 left you with a running OS but a totally borked one for OCing. Needing more voltage. Upgrading 8.1 to 10 same... Clean install always best unfortunately because they just can't/wont get it together...
Exactly....I'd have clean installed in the first place had I known this... in place upgrades just wreck OS/performance..
They are so generous! 😉 maybe if I send them the bill for my time sorting this out they will pay that?
Just stopping through to check out latest and greatest news from Asus, but i too got hit with the freeze, didnt know what was going on until i wanted to head to Safe Mode and got frozen.
You should be patched / unfrozen now? yes ?
If not and if keeps happening with no way out to et to desktop with only one install disk, you can try Boot Override to UEFI-EFI or UEFI DVD Rom
that should override to installed boot path directly to windows.
But us insiders on the fast track ( not that i wanted to be one) i signed up 1 year ago and bailed after 2 weeks, and they just keep re-enrolling me, anyways, how i beat the anniversary update at there own game.
Grab a copy of 1511, the previous build before AU
Clean install to 1511 desktop, W/O internet, click Framework 3.0, 4.0 should be baked in already
Drop in the 1609 AU update Upgrade disk you made after making a clean 1511 disk,
Get to the option to check for updates and system updates and driver updates, ( with the programs and features combo box still open)
Quickly connect to internet , click download Framework 3.0, allow it to finish and immediately click the Upgrade Installer to start checking system,driver and component updates, it should download now drivers, component updates and drivers+ the 1609 patch and updates for 1609 and take about 1-2hrs depending on system and SSD/HDD speed...
Cheers, allow it to boot to new 1609 desktop and enjoy A flawless anniversary edition. For me i hadto install 8.1 under a public key and reinstall original drivers and reset my laptop from scratch.
IIt would have been noce if they had sent out a Email instead of me thumbing through FORBES magazine to find out what was happening to my laptop, i mean these things can only take so much hardware strain before they give out.
Hope people find this info useful
