When you run an in-place upgrade of Windows 10 or 11 using the Media Creation Tool, ISO, or Installation Assistant, the upgrade process may get stuck at “Checking for updates.”<\/p>\n

\"windows
\n<\/p>\n

On some systems, the dialog may get stuck for hours together.<\/p>\n

This issue occurs if the Windows Update client on the computer is broken. Or a proxy\/TLS\/SSL\/firewall misconfiguration blocks Microsoft Update servers, such as delivery.mp.microsoft.com<\/code>.<\/p>\n

Resolution<\/h2>\n

To workaround the issue, run Setup from the ISO, disconnect the device from the internet, and disable dynamic updates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download the Windows ISO<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Right-click on the ISO and click “Mount” to to mount it to a drive letter.<\/li>\n
  3. Run Setup.exe from the mounted ISO drive-letter.\n

    \"windows<\/li>\n

  4. Disconnect<\/strong> your computer from the internet.<\/li>\n
  5. In the initial<\/strong> screen, click “Change how Setup downloads updates”
    \n\"windows\n<\/li>\n
  6. Select “Not right now” (during Windows 11 setup) or “Not at the moment” (during Windows 10 setup.)\n

    \"windows<\/li>\n

  7. Click Next, follow the instructions, and complete the repair installation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note:<\/strong> As you’ve disabled dynamic updates, only the base version (without the latest LCU) of Windows (find Windows version from ISO<\/a>) will be installed. That means you’ll need to install the latest quality update, .NET Framework security update, and other updates via Settings \u2192 Windows Update<\/strong> after setup is finished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
