thanks to @biffzinker for Dism /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
Really useful command (clean up W10 WinSxS). It freed up ~ 5 GB of disk space

You can also do it from Powershell as Admin if you like the blue theme better:

Yeah same, started using sfc chkdsk and dismcheck all the time when I was benching memory and I started pretty much always using powershell over cmd. Easier on the eyes methinks, but that's probably just me

Went ahead and made the upgrade because whatever harm Windows can do is nothing compared to the IF on my 3700X shitting the bed

So far everything seems fine, I did the dism clean afterwards. Didn't really notice any improvement in responsiveness.

It kinda broke RTSS though, so I've turned that off and gone back to just using Afterburner

To anyone who tried to update but fails to complete and doesn't want to reformat and fresh install. There is A VERY EASY method and it doesn't require a flash drive!

All I did is that I picked the latest Windows 10 ISO, then mounted it by using Microsoft Virtual Drive, then ran the setup as if I am doing an upgrade from there and chose the option to keep files and apps (while also ignored the the option for looking for drivers and patches and apps updates) and viola! Just waited until all finishes. All my files, apps, games and apps/game settings in this PC are preserved!

I am finally able to install the latest patch! Just had to rerun/redo the debloter app. Almost all of my other changes remained the same! except Microsoft Edge settings, all of its settings came back to default. I then had to run Microsoft Disk Cleaner to remove that Windows.old folder and change Microsoft Ege settings and then run this tool:

WHD/scripts/UninstallAllEdgeChromium.zip at master · abbodi1406/WHD

WHDownloader backup repo. Contribute to abbodi1406/WHD development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

UninstallAllEdgeChromium ... This tool will remove Microsoft Edge and its stuff. Then what is left of it is only the hard baked stuff. Microsoft Edge now the option "Advanced Settings" in apps list, so you can disable all of its permissions if available (Do disable/block stuff from Microsoft Edge GUI first).

Updated laptop and version number did not change. Tried to reinstall and it said it was already installed.
Now what???

No version number change either.

@jsfitz54 @biffzinker yup unfortunately it's because of that mum crap (jumped the gun)

Insert and run these one by one in cmd or powersehell and reboot in the end. No need to reinstall/uninstall KB4601319, you should be fine, it's installed. Just check winver after reboot to see if you're good
