WINDOWS 10 UPDATE SUCKS INSTALL
WINDOWS 10 UPDATE SUCKS WINDOWS 10

If you can connect the PC directly to a router via ethernet cable you don't even have to worry about creating an install DVD. If I lived in Columbia SC I'd offer to fix these non-profit owned PC's for nothing. A user on the Gateway community forum replaced his for less than $10.

It's also possible to replace the card with a different one that is known to work with Windows 10 build 1709. My Gateway PC experienced exactly what you described and the removal of the wireless network card just to allow the update to run worked without any problems at all. I found this solution by looking at the Gateway community forum. I'm just a retired software engineer who happens to have a Gateway FX6860.

Your suggestions as the manufacturer are greatly needed and your support is greatly appreciated. I need to implement a means to allow the machine to work unencumbered until a long range path forward can be devised by month end. All suggestions via Microsoft have been ineffective. Repeated power cycles compromises the health of the HDD as you well know. Each morning the machine is hung at 83% update progress (even with Windows Update Service disabled) requiring a hard power cycle leading to a restore to previous version to regain functionality. Alternatively, I need a method to turn off update attempts. Good Day, To reiterate, if 'The Gateway model DX4860 is not listed as being suitable to install Windows 10 Fall Creators Update', and I believe Build 1607 is as far as it can go since failed attempts to update are referencing Build 1709, what are the client options? Are they forced to buy a new desktop? I need to give them an indication as to what their options are. However, I need to give them an indication as to what their options are. If 'The Gateway model DX4860 is not listed as being suitable to install Windows 10 Fall Creators Update', and I am truly successful at getting 1607 to fully install, what are the client options? Are they forced to buy a new desktop? That option will not go over really well. There is no trace of the security feature update that was scheduled prior to me running the suggested remedies above. My next step was to run DISM.exe /Online /Clean-up-image /Restorehealth from the elevated command line. I was under the impression that the Build would be supported until 2023? Windows Update then forged ahead and started downloading Windows 10, version 1709. When I tried to get the KB# from Update History, the message stated 'No Updates have been installed yet.' Upon restart, the machine displayed a warning that the operating system build would not be supported after April 10, 2018. The machine successfully installed a cumulative update at level 1607. Good Day, I processed the suggestions as described.
