Windows 10 Creators Update not compatible with GA-H81M-DS2V motherboard

[IzzyDzulkifli]

Over the past week, I was getting Windows Update Error 0x80240439 and I consulted forums and Microsoft technicians numerous times. Finally, after much frustration (and many, many unnecessary clean installs), a level two technician told me that the Windows 10 Creators Update is incompatible with the motherboard's drivers.

I'm wondering if anyone knows when the GA-H81M-DS2V motherboard will be (if ever) compatible with the Creators Update. Thanks.

EDIT: I can confirm that the rollback to Anniversary worked.

We have no idea what problems / issues you are experiencing.   

To say simply that an OS build is not compatible with your board or drivers is a very broad and general statement.  It could be that your hardware (system configuration) is having issues with something as part of the build?

Also, just because someone said your board / hardware / system is not compatible doesn't necessarily mean its true.  This should be further investigated.   

Are you running Windows Insider and Preview builds?  If so, I'd disable this feature and stick with certified releases while bugs and inconsistencies with new features are resolved.

I also have this problem since installing Creators Update.

No reply from the OP...

Are you allowing Insider Preview Builds?  Are you seeing this error when trying to update Apps in the windows store or when using windows update?

Have you performed any troubleshooting steps?

Sorry to bump the thread.

I have two PCs with this motherboard. I've done memory tests on both as well as harddrive checks. The installation media has been created using the official media tool many times from many ISOs. This Windows update issue persists on both PCs in this state.

There are references elsewhere (https://www.tenforums.com/windows-updates-activation/85111-windows-10-update-error-0x80240439-5.html) to this being a 'driver issue'. I am not sure to what degree that's true. I've updated as many drivers manually as possible to no avail.

I am certain this problem is related to the motherboard itself, or to a bug in Windows.

Hello,

There are many issues with the Creators update which will be resolved in the next Windows update, the issues you are having are common to many other people, not just Gigabyte boards.

Best option is to wait for the next Windows 10 Fall Creators update.

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has managed to sort this problem, I'm about to spend a fortune sending off my PC to an engineer to see if they can fix it.  My wife works for the NHS and was caught up in the ransomware WannaCry because of using PC's that weren't updated I really don't want something like this happening.

Regards
Anthony

Hello Anthony,

Unfortunately we have to wait for Microsoft to release the new update, once this rolls out it will likely resolve many of the incompatibility issues.

Until then, it's a waiting game.
