Tbook X16 power latest windows update problems

[Kazik]

I’ve tried the same its tells me I am 8gb short of memory but i do have a 1tb portable hard drive maybe ill try this tomorrow.

I’ll try to keep you updated on my progress.

Can we manually update from sd card? Or from another local pc/laptop?

Just a quick update still trying to update & still no joy and I have even tried adding a 128gb SD card still not working

Try deleting hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys, those take up the most space. Basically, you’ll have to disable hibernate (+ fast startup) and pagefile. Make sure system restore is disabled.

I probably did more that I can’t remember now, but those definitely take up the most space you can’t just clean. If you’re willing to reinstall the whole tablet (please make a disk image first), you can try resizing the Windows partition like I did.

Now it’s saying all I need is an extra 1.2gb wish we could just download it on a external drive and just update away

[Jeff]

You can try downloading the MSU onto external drive/microSD and installing from there. Otherwise, you could try TreeSize.

Thanks for that but I am not great at doing things like that where would I find them files you talk about ?

[Jeff]

You mean pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys? Just disable pagefile and hibernate / fast startup like I said… You can Google those.

Or do you mean downloading the MSU? I already provided this link: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-download-and-install-windows-10-cumulative-updates-manually

TreeSize you can Google as well. But if you actually meant resizing the Windows partition, well the link could be better, but you need to specify what you’re looking for.

Jeff thanks for your help all sorted now and working great

No problem. I apologize for the attitude of my previous post. I basically wrote that soon after being abruptly awoken in the middle of the night, feeling cranky. Thank you for looking last that.
