Here at school, and at my home, we use an SSD for the OS and programs, and a traditional HDD for user files and data.\u00a0 This requires a registry edit before a user logs on, and has worked great to save SSD space for those items that need SSD speed.<\/p>\n

However, it appears to cause issues with major updates in Windows.\u00a0 While minor updates happen frequently, major ones always fail.\u00a0 I needed the major upgrade to 21H2 to make Starfall work, so it was a priority!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

To fix this issue I had to do the following.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0Logon with the admin account that was originally setup with windows.\u00a0 This account is stored in the User folder where windows was installed.<\/li>\n
  2. Undo the registry hack to put user folders on the D: Drive.\n
      \n
    1. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\ProfileList]<\/strong> should be returned to %SystemDrive%\\Users<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    2. Run the following in an administrator command prompt.\u00a0 In short, it repairs the Windows installation folder.\n
        \n
      1. DISM.exe \/Online \/Cleanup-image \/Restorehealth<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      2. Now I ran an upgrade from a flash drive with the current Windows release…and it worked!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Hope this helps anyone else with Windows upgrade issues, or more importantly, Starfall issues!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
