Windows Update does not find Build 10041

Hi,

If you’re already on the Fast ring, and checking for a new build in Windows Update does not find and start downloading Build 10041, you can make sure you have the right Flight Registry Settings.  These settings sometimes get set incorrectly and we released an update to fix this issue.

Option 1:  Install the Windows Update that will reset your Flight Registry Settings

You can download the update directly from the Microsoft Update Catalog: 

• Go to http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=3038930
• Depending on whether you are running an x64 or x86-based system, click on the appropriate download.
• After the update is installed, verify you are set to Fast and “Check for Updates” again.

Option 2:  Edit your registry

If you’re not able to install the update, you can instead edit the registry yourself.  A word of warning:  these instructions ONLY apply to devices on Build 9926 that have set Choose how preview builds are installed to Fast:
