It so happens that during a simple installation of Windows 10, various errors occur. No wonder, for now. The most typical mistakes and focus on solutions. Sometimes a special code helps, sometimes manually deleting files, sometimes booting from an installation disk. All of this further.
So, even the refresh icon can disappear quite calmly. In this case, you can try updating using a special program called the Windows 10 Installation Media Creation Tool. It can be easily downloaded from the official website. The problem can be solved like this: this application can either download the update, or download the files for a clean installation.
You can also try the following to restore the icon:
If there is such a problem that when installing the 10th update, the system writes an error code under the number 80240020, then you need to try the following actions:
There is such an error that the update program itself crashes during installation. There are two ways you can try:
If during the installation periodically there is a problem or error that has some kind of code, then you can solve such errors by starting with a preliminary. Just insert it into the DVD drive (if it is a disc), or into USB port(if it is a memory stick) and run the setup.exe file. Next, you need to follow all the installation steps.
It so happens that Windows 10 from the 7 and 8 series has been updated, but activation has not appeared. In this case, it helps to wait a while. Microsoft's servers are raking in very long queues of people waiting to be installed. The turn of your operating system will come, it will be activated. It is also important to understand that non-activated 7 and 8 series operating systems will result in a non-activated updated 10 generation version. In this case, you need to rollback to seven or eight, and update again.
As a last resort, using a clean install helps. That is, we insert a bootable ISO image into the computer and boot from it. The update will offer to demolish all files and overwrite the operating system. It is important to understand that before that you still need to do the update and activation. That is, first, the transition from Windows 7 and 8 to version 10 is made, and only then you can resort to a clean installation. Then the system itself is activated after a while.

Some users reported that the update is downloaded - over and over again, after it reaches a certain threshold point. The update log in some cases reports error code 0x80240034, which indicates that an attempt to install the update was not successful.
If the Center Windows updates is not working as expected, it is a good idea to run the Windows Updates Troubleshooter. This issue is not new and similar things keep happening during Windows update. If you run into problems downloading or installing updates, here's how you can fix it.
FIX: Windows 10 failed to install (0x80240034).
When an update is installed multiple times and the installation fails to complete, each time, the most likely cause of this issue is a corrupted update database. Damaged Windows components Update can also contribute to this situation. Depending on your system's update history, both items may require troubleshooting before downloading.
To fix both of these components, run the troubleshooter for Windows Update. The utility will automatically fix corrupted items as well as fix any other Windows Update issues (such as issues with Windows Update services).
Press the keyboard shortcut Win + I to go to the application "Options".
Go to section Update & Security → Troubleshoot.

The update will now proceed as it should.
In case the troubleshooting fails to fix the update database, you can manually fix it as follows:
Open " Command line" or " PowerShell " and enter the following commands one by one while pressing the Enter key.
Net stop wuauserv net stop cryptSvc net stop bits net stop msiserver Ren C: \ Windows \ SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old Ren C: \ Windows \ System32 \ catroot2 Catroot2.old net start wuauserv net start cryptSvc net start bits net start msiserver
Close the window command line and restart your computer.
After rebooting, try installing the Windows updates available to you again, they should now work fine.
If you still have problems getting updates on Windows Update, you can update your system using an ISO file.
In 2016, the software giant Microsoft for the first time favored the desire of some users to use its product for free. So the owners of computers with official versions of Windows 7 and 8 had an exceptional opportunity to upgrade their systems to Windows 10 for free. But the developers from Microsoft initially hid one important nuance.
The fact is that during the installation of the "Tens" in the PC from a "blank slate", the key purchased by users for their "Sevens" and "Eights" does not work when the new item is activated.
As a result, only users who switched to Windows 10 through updating their old system acquired the official version of the OS with the index "10", and it became tied only to specific equipment. But these difficulties are only the tip of the iceberg, hiding underneath a significant number of problems of the new product, due to which Windows 10 is often not installed. Below are the main problems due to which Windows 10 does not start for computer owners after installing the OS, or is not installed at all. As well as available recommendations on what needs to be done in this case.
There is the following list of the main reasons why the "Ten" may not be installed:
If the computer does not meet even at least one of the above conditions, an error often occurs when installing Windows with the index "10", and the system will not be able to install or will not start after installation.
After that, it will already be possible to take specific actions, that is, change the RAM or install an additional bar.
In this method, Windows 10 should install automatically, but often this does not happen due to the following reasons:
To do this, follow these steps:
These manipulations will allow you to complete the complete installation of the update. After the procedure, you need to restart the computer and click "Get Windows 10" in the tray. 
On the last day of April, Microsoft began rolling out the Windows 10 April 2018 Update 1803. Users around the world can install it on their compatible computers, laptops and tablets. This is the fifth major update to Windows 10, the first of two this year. There are a number of new features and changes to productivity, performance, and security here.
As usual, there may be problems with the new version. During its creation, a significant restructuring of the code takes place, which can lead to failures and loss of compatibility, and this will have a bad effect on the quality of computers.
Sometimes there may be problems with the installation due to outdated drivers, conflicts with programs, hardware components of your computer. This guide will cover similar update issues and how to fix them.
There are a number of similar errors, depending on their cause. In any case, it is recommended that you use the Windows Update Troubleshooter.
After completing these steps, open Settings> Update & Security> Windows Update and check for updates.
There may be problems with your device's network adapter. In this case, select the "Network Adapter" section in the troubleshooting tool.
You can also perform a clean install of Windows 10, then the necessary partition will be created to start the system without problems.
After deleting the files, open Settings> Update & Security> Windows Update and click on the "Check for Updates" button.
If this method doesn't work, use the Media Creation Tool to manually install the update.
After completing these steps, repeat them for other desired applications. Next, try installing the update and reinstall the antiviruses when the installation is complete.
After that, try installing the update again through Windows Update. If problems persist, use the Media Creation Tool to install.
Windows 10 installs updates automatically, but if the computer does not have access to the Internet for some time, after which you try to install a new version of Windows from a USB flash drive, such a problem may occur.
To solve it, install the latest updates:
If updates are not downloaded, you can update the system manually.
In this case, try starting the process manually:
When the new version of Windows 10 is installed, device setup begins and you can connect the Internet again. Then check for updates in the Settings app.
Now you can use your USB stick to install the April update.
When everything is ready, you can use the image to update your computer, virtual machine, or other device.

Use the Disk Cleanup utility to fix this common problem. There, select clean up system files and you can delete everything except the files to install the Windows update.
If you can't free up enough space, you can plug in a flash drive that is at least 16 GB in size. It will be used as a temporary storage location for the installation Windows files 10.
You can use the SFC command line tool to repair damaged or missing system files. Information about this can be found on the Internet.
If you still have problems, you can use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool.
If your system was operating normally prior to installing version 1803, it is difficult to know which driver or software is interfering with your device. In such a case, it is best to use the Media Creation Tool to update. If there is a conflict with the software, the tool will provide a report.
For errors like this where Windows 10 rolls back to a previous version, use the steps mentioned above to temporarily remove the problematic devices.
When you experience compatibility issues with apps, check the manufacturer's website for that app for updates. In addition, you can temporarily uninstall the program, install the Windows 10 update and put it back.

The list of minimum system requirements for the Windows 10 April Update is given below:
In the same application there is a tool for solving activation problems. It's located at Settings> Updates & Security> Activation. If you cannot activate your device, you can wait a few days and see if it automatically reactivates.
Windows 10 has a system image tool that has everything you need to restore your computer, including returning files, applications, and settings.
Alternatively, you can temporarily disable or uninstall antiviruses and other security applications. The same goes for Windows Built-in Defender. Disable real-time protection for it during the installation of the Windows 10 update. To do this:
After installing the Windows 10 update, protection turns on by itself.
If you have a limited amount of traffic, make sure there is enough traffic to install the update. To disable metered connections:
The easiest way is to use the Media Creation Tool to create a bootable USB stick that you will install Windows 10 from.
Windows 10 is an operating system for a long time. Microsoft announced that no new versions (in the usual sense) will be released, and the development of the system will be permanent updates. Many Windows users want to be on the wave of progress, so they are moving to the newest and most advanced operating system in the world. But those who want to upgrade will face a lot of pitfalls, especially for owners of computers two or three years ago: from incompatibility of motherboards and components to the lack of support for some processors. As a result, the installation attempt fails or the process hangs.
Microsoft believes that the most logical way to install Windows 10 is to update the current version of the system via the Internet (this way you can upgrade from Windows 7 and 8), for which you can download the Get Windows 10 application from the company's website, which will do all the work on its own, and in the background: will download the necessary components, install drivers, save user data.
Many power users prefer Clean Install — installation from removable media — to keep things in check. The best media for such an installation is a bootable USB flash drive with an image of the operating system distribution kit. The problem is that the OS tools format the USB flash drive as a disk with an MBR partition. On computers with UEFI (that is, most modern ones), installing the system from such a flash drive will fail, and the installer will not see the file partition.
If you don't want to face an error, cook boot disk GPT format. The program that will do it quickly and for free is Rufus.
When booting in UEFI mode, Windows 10 Setup will not be able to install the system to a disk with MBR partitions. This situation is possible if the operating system has already been installed on the disk. Windows system 7 or lower. As a result, a warning is displayed on the screen and the installation is suspended.
To proceed with the installation, you need to convert the disk to GPT format. There are two ways to solve this problem: fast - with the loss of all data on the disk, - and slow, with the preservation of information. If you don’t need the information, or if it’s just a disc from the aftermarket that was in use, the first method would be optimal:
To implement the second method - converting a disk with data saving - you will need a software package for working with disk partitions. Let's dwell on the Minitool Partition Wizard program: it is free, and you can download an image of a bootable USB flash drive from the manufacturer's website.
Messages about the inability to install the system on a disk with MBR partitions can be avoided by switching the boot mode to Legacy in the BIOS settings. But this is a temporary solution, which will then lead to a decrease in the performance and reliability of the system. The best option would still be disk conversion.
When installing Windows 10 on an SSD, you may encounter errors such as "endless installation": at a certain stage, the computer restarts and starts the installation again. There is also such a nuisance as the critically low speed of access to the SSD - the installation can take 12-15 hours. In addition, sometimes the installer does not recognize the drive and the SSD is not displayed in the drive selection window. To get rid of such errors, you should take a number of simple steps:
Select the unallocated area to install the system
Blue Screen, also known as Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD), is a Windows diagnostic message about a critical error, after which the system cannot work. Errors can occur both during the installation of the operating system and during its further operation.
Most often, such errors appear when there is a problem with the hardware of the computer. To get rid of the error, you can take the following steps:
One of the common problems is a black screen (with or without mouse cursor) after installing the operating system. This error most often appears on computers with discrete AMD and NVidia video cards, this does not happen with integrated video. It is possible that the computer installs the downloaded updates: in this case, you should wait 15-20 minutes until the welcome screen appears. If the wait did not lead to a positive result, you should restart the computer and then disable the function quick launch systems (guaranteed to fix black screen issue with AMD or NVidia graphics cards).
Let us consider separately a group of errors due to which the installation of Windows 10 takes too long. In normal mode, on an average computer, a complete system installation takes no more than 35-40 minutes, on a system with an SSD - 3-4 times faster.
This problem is most commonly encountered when trying to install Windows 10 on one of Samsung laptops. Some time ago, the company stopped producing laptops, stopped buying OEM versions of the operating system. Therefore, Microsoft removed support for these laptops from the distribution. As a result, the installer hangs at the system logo, that is, at the very beginning.
You can install the operating system by dismantling the hard drive, which is connected to another computer, where the operating system installation procedure takes place. Then the disk goes back to the laptop and after the phase automatic tuning Windows 10 works great on it.
This error occurs when updating Windows 7 or Windows 8 using Windows Update. The progress of the installation can stop at an arbitrary place and not increase indefinitely. In this case, the best option would be to install an operating system with bootable media(flash drives). On the start screen, you will be able to select the installation mode - "Update" - and all your data and the programs installed in the previous version of the OS will be saved.
This issue occurs when trying to upgrade to Windows 10 from previous OS versions. Update Center error does not allow installation new system, when you try, you get the message "There were some problems installing updates ..."
To make the installation of Windows 10 possible, you need to run a special script that will reset all Windows Update errors.
Now you can re-run the upgrade to Windows 10 - there will be no errors.
At 25%, Windows 10 installation may hang with error code 0xC1900101.
The error indicates a conflict between the peripheral devices and the installer. Although Microsoft does not provide any official instructions on how to fix it, you can achieve a normal system installation by following these steps:
If the installation hangs after 32%, this is a feature of the system update mechanism, and not a bug. The amount of data that needs to be downloaded from the Internet is about 10 gigabytes, and the number of files is in the tens of thousands. Depending on the speed of the Internet connection of the central processor and the amount of RAM of the computer being upgraded, the installation procedure for Windows 10 may take a long time. Sometimes the process can last almost a day.
During the update, there are several "checkpoints", during the passage of which the process slows down so much that it seems as if the updater is "stuck". You just have to wait in such cases as:
You can greatly speed up the update process by disconnecting all USB peripherals and optional monitors, if any.
This error occurs when trying to install an OS to a disk with a partition table already created. There are no unallocated areas on the disk, the installation program cannot create additional hidden partitions for system needs and gives an error message "Failed to create a new or find an existing partition."
In order for the installer to create the structure of system partitions necessary for the OS to work, you must either delete the existing partitions from the disk (in this case, all data will be lost), or the program for working with partitions reduces those on the disk. Thus, approximately 700 MB of space will be freed up and installation will be possible.
In the first case, select the existing section with the cursor without leaving the disk selection window, and click "Delete". Then, in the same way, allocate the freed up free space and specify it for further installation of the operating system.
In the second case, you will need a bootable USB flash drive with the Minitool Partition Wizard program.
The error occurs after installing the cumulative update KB3081424 (or using the installation disk, where this update is already integrated). The installation program scans the system registry and, if it finds entries for non-existent users, crashes, after which the update tries to install again - and so on ad infinitum. To fix the error, you need to edit the system registry:
A very rare error that occurs when installing other systems of the Windows family. Appears on configurations that include a floppy disk drive. Solution to the problem - using the BIOS settings, disable the drive and set the value disabled in the Drive A (B) line.
During the installation process, the installer reports that there are no drivers for the drive and stops. It is not possible to proceed with the installation.
The reason is the USB 3.0 standard port to which you have connected a bootable USB flash drive with the system distribution kit or a portable hard drive. It is very easy to fix the error - switch the drive to another USB 2.0 port. It is very easy to distinguish it: the ports of the USB 3.0 standard are blue, and the 2.0 standard is black.
Microsoft has published at least two articles dedicated to troubleshooting errors when installing Windows 10 or upgrading to it from older operating systems. it detailed guides with error codes and a short description. These are Windows 10 Upgrade and Install Errors Help and Windows 10 Upgrade Errors Troubleshooting. You can find them in the "Documents" section.
Please note that you can access the Microsoft knowledge bases, including the articles mentioned, if you have Account Microsoft. If it is not there, do not be lazy to spend 15 minutes on registration.
The errors and solutions discussed in the article are typical, that is, they occur on very different configurations. At the same time, there may be errors "floating" - occurring with an unpredictable frequency, which are very difficult to track and systematize. The stability of the OS and the absence of problems with its installation are closely related to the quality of the components from which the computer is assembled. Use RAM modules of trusted brands, hard drives without errors and damage, and a reliable cooling system. After all, it is much easier to prevent mistakes than to deal with them in the process.
