Beware of Fall Creators Update with a ASUS x299 MOB & Samsung NVMe SSD

[Superbowl]

Lots of people, including myself, are having big problems trying to update Windows 10 to the Fall Creators Update. We all get error message 0xc00000bb when trying to reboot to install the FCU. It seems as though almost all the people have the same thing in common: ASUS X299 MOB, a Samsung NVMe SSD, and lots of us also seem to have SATA drives with the SSD. See here from the Microsoft Technet Users Forum with the URL below. Lots of people having the same issue. Can ASUS, Samsung or Microsoft put out some sort of fix for this so we can all update ?

Always beware any WinOS update, lol. Every major revision or service pack breaks compatibility with something (usually M.2, PCIe, USB, or RAID).

Always wise to fully backup/clone/image your entire system drive before applying such updates, a standard Windows Restore Point is almost always useless when serious Windows-centric problems occur. And always wise to let other people beta test things for you, wait a week or so and see how many others complain about the updates breaking their systems.

On the plus side, you can expect the most popular consumer products (like your Samsung NVMe SSD) to get compatibility fixed/patched with a few weeks at most.

Yes, I did a disc image backup of my C: drive before the update and have it on an external hard drive. Thanks for the advice.

What? A Win 10 update that broke something? Say it ain't so!

I have updated. R6E with 960pro boot drive on the DIMM.2

Took close to an hour but no problems.

Do you have any SATA drives also installed ? I heard from some people if you have a Samsung 960 Pro as your boot drive, but other SATA drives installed that could be the problem. I was wondering if all your drives are SSD or do you have SATA drives, as well ?

Good point. I have NO SATA drives installed.

Two Polaris drives here on DIMM.2. No issues here, either.
