    OK, so I see all but EasyList were removed, so I manually had to delete that and add my chosen list. It looks like we can only have one subscription in Edge which makes it almost useless.

    "However, since Adblock Plus for Microsoft Edge is still in early development stage, there still are some issues and limitations. Most notably we are currently limited in the amount of space we have to store your filter subscriptions. So some of the heavy users might find that adding more than one or two subscriptions will not work. There are also a few other issues, which is why we have decided to keep the Beta title for now. Nevertheless, we are still committed to bypass most of the limitations in future releases."

    Finally! Adblock Plus for Microsoft Edge now available for 350 million Windows 10 users

    You should be-able to have EasyList, and EasyPrivacy along with 'Adblock Warning Removal List' and two others;

    Malware Blocking
    Disable Tracking

    Ah ha! I didn't realise it was still in beta. I deleted EasyList and added Fanboy Ultimate list which does a little more and I'll be happy with that for the time being.

    Thanks. :thumb:

    Regardless, I personally like it better than IE TPLs.

    It still fails. There is a BSOD and then it does the rollback after restarting. The previous times I had been attempting to upgrade, I had not been paying much attention to the progress and missed the BSOD.

    After doing some searching on Google, it seems that the BSOD may be related to video drivers or perhaps some other driver, and it was suggested to disable or uninstall the video driver. I disabled it in Device Manager, and also used the Clean Unplugged Devices function in Driver Booster to remove the drivers for any disconncted devices. The upgrade failed again with the video driver disabled, so I am trying again now after uninstalling the video driver and rebooting.

    You have AVs that interferes with the updating of Windows. Software like Acronis True Image, even Trusteer Rapport also known to cause this issue.

    Disabling your AV protections via AV GUI isn't sufficient enough. With regards to AVG, I had to disable the the associated drivers to get pass the last stage. It would get up-to 99% and get stuck and finally fail and rollback to previous install. It was associated to AVG drivers still loading up on start-up. What worked was to disable the AVG drivers from being loaded on startup. I don't know if AVG can still cause problems, but back when doing November update, it surely was. After that case I make it a habit to manually disable the AVG drivers from loading.

    Here are following tips to save some time, or troubleshoot Windows updating issues;

    It's suggested to disable your installed AV, you can try but I would suggest if it fails to also disable all the AV associated drivers. Or perhaps temporarily uninstalling would be easier for most?

    Restart the computer to refresh before trying to run the update.

    Disable General USB Devices (example: Smart Card Reader.)

    If you are using a SCSI hard disk, make sure you have drivers available for your storage device on a thumb-drive and it is connected. During Windows 10 setup, click the Custom Advanced Option and use the Load Driver command to load the appropriate driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and setup still fails, consider switching to a IDE based hard disk.

    Perform a Clean-boot ~ https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135, then try.

    If you are upgrading using the .ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during setup, if you are connected by LAN (Ethernet) or Wi-Fi, disable both and attempt setup again.

    If you are updating through Windows Update, when the download reaches 100% disconnect from the Internet LAN (Ethernet) or Wi-Fi and proceed with the installation.

    If you aren't already, try using the .ISO file to upgrade if possible.

    If you are connected to a domain, switch to a local account.

    If you have any external devices attached to the machine, disconnect them (example, gaming controllers, USB keys, external hard disc, printers, non-essential devices.)​

    @Phant0m Thanks. The upgrade failed once again, so I'll look into your suggestions.

    It doesn't matter how many times I've deleted EasyList and added Fanboy Ultimate List after running CCleaner (keeping the ABP cookie - whether I need to keep it or not) and restarting my machine it keeps resetting to EasyList. I will see how long EasyList, EasyPrivacy and Fanboy Annoyance List lasts.

    If I can remember correctly.., if the limit is reached, I think it'll automatically reset.

    Not a limit to one, however, if you using a very large list. Then yes.

    I'm successfully using the already stated multiple lists and I'm not experiencing any problems.

    If you exceed the limit, whatever you using, it'll be reverted back I think to the original state it was shown with when having just installed the extension.

    Rather than keeping this thread so far off topic I'll start a new one.

    @Phant0m I tried the upgraded again from the ISO (extracted to my hard drive) after uninstalling my antivirus, doing a clean boot, and then disabling both my network adapters in Device Manager. Once again it failed.

    Azure Phoenix: I've noticed it yesterday. This person's system restore was enabled after the Windows Anniversary update. However the slider-bar for max usage was set to 0%. I didn't even think setting to 0% was possible, however that's exactly what I've seen set.

    There has been one more recent BIOS version released. I can't update as my laptop has no battery. However, I doubt it would help anyway, as there was only one minor change in the BIOS, as per the changelog:

    You shouldn't need no battery to upgrade the BIOS. In-fact it is recommended to plug-in the AC adapter before doing BIOS upgrade. When in battery mode, some manufactures BIOS updaters will complain and not update unless the user has like 80% battery life.

    Regardless, re-applying current or updating the BIOS even to simply refresh it, has been known to correct problems, even if it is a minor change.

    The BIOS update software won't run if there is no battery connected. It appears that there is no way to bypass this.

    This same computer had no trouble upgrading from Windows 8 to 10.
