    I've transferred everything to my other machine but can't get it to work. Rufus says "Error: Error while partitioning drive".

    Dave,

    I'd try a Diskpart "clean" on that UFD and then create a partition. Then try Rufus again.

    I spoke to soon about the rundll32 problem being fixed. I just installed a program and the issue was back again.

    Thanks for clearing that up. :D
    Actually @Krusty13 I think you are right, but seeing MCT by default chooses English (United States) for my machine I will try 'English' ISO download ... maybe it doesn't matter.
    Can't find any definitive answer on the web.

    I just downloaded the International English version and created a USB installation media and the folders are all EN-GB.

    I have that one downloaded already, but am downloading English now.
    My keyboard has a $ so instinct tells me to go with EN-US. Dunno if that means anything - I wouldn't know ...

    I'll download "International English" and upgrade my test computer which has already been upgraded with "English".

    Thanks. Let us know any findings.

    @Brian K @Krusty13 I am assuming your My Settings>Region & language>Country or region is Australia and Languages has English (Australia)?

    One annoyance I've noticed with the international version, is that while you can set the keyboard layout to US when you install it, when you boot to the Recovery Environment, the default keyboard layout is always set to GB, and you need to click past serveral pages of languages until you get to US if you want to change it.

    Yep. ;) But that shouldn't affect what ISO I download should it? I mean if I wanted to use French I could download a French ISO, right?

    @Brian K , you should be able to check the files and folders on your USB flash drive.

    I think that may be fine if you do a clean install, but if you use the ISO to do an upgrade, you need to chooose 'the same language'.
    From the MCT page:
    Language in Windows. You'll need to choose the same language when you install Windows 10. To see what language you're currently using, go to Time and language in PC settings or Region in Control Panel.

    Yeah, that makes sense. I'm over fond of doing clean installs so that limitation probably wont bother me too much.

    I'm not sure about the different keyboard layouts but but I would of thought the "$" key would 'translate' into your local currency.
    @roger_m , is that how it works?

    The 'English' version folders are indeed en-us.

    Tried this, but my AU hanging restart or shutdown issue remained. Still think it may be a third party driver, so I am back on 1511 where I don't have this issue.
    I may try this again, but uninstall AppGuard first. I simply did a clean boot for this one. And I see Lenovo are offering a Power Manager update.
    Looks like I'm headed for 'the very last option' which I suspect may have its own issues (due to absence of third party drivers?). :(

    @paulderdash: If you've performed a ' Clean' Boot. Then it continues to happen, unhook printers, USB hubs and other devices. Even the Mouse, and try a different keyboard for persistent issue.

    Next troubleshooting step would be to disable non-essential drivers. Like printers, cameras, CD/DVD drives, Network, and even the Sound drivers... and so on.

    Work from bare-bone state, restart. Now after the next boot, try restart / shutdown again. If the problem is gone, then enable couple of things at a time and reboot, then test again. Until you can narrow it down and find the culprit.

    Doesn't the keyboard trick work? If you have a selection, then press U for US for instance.

    Yes but the freezes are caused by the OS & not by using the media creation tool. If you search online for windows 10 anniversary update freezes it seems to be a common problem.

    Microsoft has received a small number of reports of Windows 10 freezing after installing the Anniversary Update on systems with the operating system stored on a solid-state drive (SSD) and apps and data stored on a separate drive. This issue does not occur when starting Windows 10 in Safe Mode.

    In addition to the workaround mentioned above, the community has also reported a number of their own solutions including logging into a second account (which then fixed the first one) or uninstall of an older antivirus program and then installing the latest version.

    I've installed the Windows 10 August 2nd Anniversary update on multiple computers now, including my own. Mine has SSD hard drive, which Windows 10 is installed on. I have several applications installed on the other drive, and not experiencing any freezes or sluggishness. However my security applications are installed on the primary SSD drive with the OS installation.

    So far I've observed only two computers that was freezing up, then after minute or so, It briefly responds to input then again back to freezing again, and repeated behaviour. The one which I've already reported about, relating to the person's HP Wireless driver. https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/windows-10-anniversary-update.387581/page-15#post-2610380


    Which I actually have good news to that front; was able to overcome, I've upgraded Realtek PCIE CardReader driver with the latest, and overcame the block on one of it's associated drivers. I've also upgraded another driver or two, can't remember which ones. However no driver update available for the problematic Wireless device.

    Anyways, after upgrading two or three drivers, and re-booting. I finally stopped observing freezes while using Internet, or while Windows was doing Internet related tasks.

    Then I also decided to roll-back to previous Windows 10 build, and again update once more. This way the person has again 10-days to roll-back if necessary. No change to drivers, still using the same old HP Wireless driver.

    August 24 updates became available, so I've unpacked that person's laptop and downloaded and installed those.

    Everything remains in good working state. It goes to show when you think there's no light at the end of the tunnel, you then proving wrong. :)

    Another person's computer had the same experiences but on HP Desktop-PC and with the Ethernet driver. Update was available, and that was fixed.

    Overall, personal experiences with updating computers to Windows 10 anniversary was a pleasant one.

    As I mentioned, I don't trust the ISO created by the MCT. I haven't used it for a year so it may be OK now but if it was my computer I'd try an install with the Microsoft ISO. If that doesn't produce a better result just restore your previous image.

    The Medias created by MCT always served me well. I've been using this way since Windows 10 initial release.

    I upgraded my English (US) 1607 to English International. Early in the setup I was warned about "will change your display language".

    After installation my Regional Settings were unchanged and the Format tab still said English (Australia).

    In Control Panel/Language I had English (Australia) and English (United Kingdom) instead of English (Australia) and English (US).
    In both situations I could remove English (United Kingdom) and English (US) and just leave English (Australia).

    No difference really.

    Confusion; your problem was upgrading straight from MCT without making media? I use MCT to make the ISO and then I burn. This is the way I'm in reference too. Then I run the setup via media, and upgrade, or clean install. :D

    Sorry, I was making an ISO using the MCT and then burning a DVD.
