Surface Pro 3 won't detect build 10158 or 10159

Hi Joe,

Thank you for your interest in Windows 10 Technical preview.

I can understand how frustrating it can be when things don’t work as expected. I'd be glad to help you.

I would suggest you to Reset Windows update components and place your computer in Clean boot state and try installing the updates.

How do I reset Windows Update components?

Hi Ruth,

Thank you for your offer to help us.

But "reset Windows Update components" which is not the solution to this issue that had already been verified by many experienced computer users.

Please see the following thread, in there Andre Da Costa also offers "reset Windows Update components" as the solution, someone try it, but it is verified no any help to deal the issue.
Not show build 10159 on my Windows Update

Most experienced users who cannot receive any "fbl_impressive Enterprise 10159" after installed "fbl_impressive Enterprise 10158", all are using a Microsoft account rather than using a local account, and all already had been tried the "reset Windows Update components" approach repeatly, but all the results are no any helps, all the results also are disheartening.

Like me, I am using the Microsoft account, I am in build 10158 now, but I always cannot receive any "fbl_impressive Enterprise 10159" after I try and try again repeatly to click the [Check for updates] button.

I use Notepad to make a batch file that reads as follows and save it as "%UserProfile%\Documents\ResetWU.bat":
net stop BITS
net stop wuauserv
net stop AppIDSvc
net stop CryptSvc
net stop msiserver
del "%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr*.dat"
takeown /F "%WinDir%\SoftwareDistribution" /R /A /D Y
icacls "%WinDir%\SoftwareDistribution" /grant Administrators:F /T /C
rd /s /q "%WinDir%\SoftwareDistribution"
takeown /F "%WinDir%\System32\catroot2" /R /A /D Y

(Note: in fact, it is not necessary for Windows 10 to install the latest Windows Update Agent.
I already tried: downloaded the latest Windows Update Agent for Windows 8.1 which near Windows 10 version:
Windows8-RT-KB2937636-x64.msu
and installed it, but it prompted me:
The update is not applicable to your computer.)

Then I open a "Command Prompt (Admin)" window by one of the following ways:
Keyboard: Win+X, A, Alt+Y
Mouse: rightclick Start button, click "Command Prompt (Admin)", click "Yes" button
Touch: press-and-hold Start button, tap "Command Prompt (Admin)", tap "Yes" button

Then in the "Command Prompt (Admin)" window, I execute the following command:
%UserProfile%\Documents\resetwu

After restart the computer, I click the [Check for updates] button of Windows Update, but still no any "fbl_impressive Enterprise 10159" found.

As follows:

I even tried to install a new build 10158 Windows system cleanly and freshly by installation media, but still fail.

Just use the install.esd file of the build 10158, transfer it to en_windows_10_enterprise_10158_x64_dvd.iso, and then burn this ISO file to a DVD, start Setup.exe from the DVD to install a new Windows system, and in this new Windows I click the [Check for updates] button of Windows Update, but still no any "fbl_impressive Enterprise 10159" found.

Thank you for the quick reply.

I tried the manual steps in the article you referenced. The build both 10158 or 10159 did not present itself afterwards. I also verified that I am logged into my surface with a Microsoft account.

I checked for updates this morning EST and received a defender update so the update system seems to be working. Just haven't received any build updates.

note two of my other machines have updated to build 10159 without issue. One is a desktop, the other is an HP tablet hybrid, the machine we got at Build 2015.

the surface pro 3 still seems to be unable to get the new build 10158 or 10159.

any ideas?

Thanks

Joe
