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

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 ?

return to defaults, no OC and try removing the samsung nvme driver and use the MS one

None of which will do anything to address the fundamental issue of the UEFI build not being able to handle the increased boot image size that leads to the failure.

Yeah, I don't know if it was the 1102 BIOS, or MS got a new patch together, but I came home to find FCU installed on my desktop. Finally!

Finally installed even on my Asus N752 notebook. There was not a bios update for me, so i can say that it is a Ms solution in the new fcu builds.

I'll test with and without the BIOS update later today to see if I can get a definitive answer as to which is fixed.

Well, with the latest version from the update assistant and the previous BIOS, it didn't work.

Now to try with 1102.

Success.

The FCU install works with BIOS 1102, and I'm typing this from within my newly updated Win10.

Congrats!

Man, it's actually feeling kinda weird to have the problem solved. I've been checking this thread every day for months now. I guess I can delete this bookmark, but my daily ritual is going to be disrupted. 😄

Hello,

I have a 7940X on the ROG VI E with 128Gb DDR4 3333 Trident Z and one 960 Pro 1TB (with latest firmware) as a boot drive (also have 1 sata hdd and 2 sata ssds in raid 0). ROG VI E bios is up to date (1301).

I cannot upgrade to windows 1803 (nor 1709) from Windows 1703. Have used windows upgrade assistant, windows update and media creation tool. No luck. I get memory management BSOD. After two reboots it automatically goes back to 1703. I have tried cloning my nvme ssd to a sata ssd (Sandisk Extreme Pro), disabled the other drives but not luck. Same thing happened when I only had the nvme drive enabled and all other sata drives disabled. I have also tried using only Samsung nvme (latest 3.0) drivers and have tried just the Microsoft nvme drivers (uninstalled the Samsung one). No luck either. I need to avoid clean install. Must try to get the upgrade to work.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance
