It seems that this has been a continuous and, so-called, universal problem with the STCK1A32WFCL Sticks. The freeze issue is most likely caused by write cache on the internal eMMC storage according to another thread here, so I have deactivated that now that I have windows 10 up and running. A bit slow on some portions of "getting files ready", but fast after that. ISO first, then used the GPT partition scheme, fat32 as filesystem and cluster size at default. ISO image, so I created another USB stick, this time I loaded the. Under a backtracing, I found out that Rufus reverts settings after I load the. All resulted in a hang on "Getting files ready". Balanced power option in bios, with usb stick, keyboard and mouse connected to a non-powered 4-port USB hub. I tried to install windows 10 with several USB sticks, some created by MS mediacreationtool.exe and others via Rufus. Managed to get win 10 activated, so I could do a clean install without serial.
F8 option to revert to windows 8.1 was broken and I don`t know if Win 10 upgrade broke it or if it never worked in the first place. Upgraded to windows 10, but desktop froze after a few minutes. I had the same issue, though I started with a 8.1 install first that worked perfectly. But the stick cannot be "windowized" and it's a problem for me. I'm in Ukraine so sending the unit to Intel is not an option. It would be 3% for the setup made with MediaCreationTool.exe, 95% for Rufus with "MBR partition scheme for BIOS and UEFI" and 64% with "MBR partition scheme for UEFI" options selected in Rufus. One sure observation I made was that the percentage at which it stopped depends on how the installation was supplied to the USB flash drive. Used power stabilizer to make sure no power surge would hurt the power to the stick Fully re-format the flash stick to make sure it is fully functionalĥ. Re-partition the internal flash drive (actually the install does it automatically - splits the clean single space into 4 partitions, one main and 3 service)Ĥ. Use Win 10 rev.1511 ISO file downloaded from Microsoft with Rufus 2.5 and different Rufus optionsģ. Removing USB media at this point triggers no reaction.Ģ. Compiled a new USB flash with Windows 10 with MS MediaCreationTool.exe, attempted fresh install with internal drive fully wiped - no luck, it loads setup which would stop at an arbitrary point from 3% to 95% saying "Getting files ready for installation." and never progress after. Factory reset didn't work either - problem detected, won't go any further that that. Restoration to Win 8.1 from BIOS menu didn't wok - no restore point found. After that remained bootable but stopped responded on anything after fully loaded on first mouse click, would just hang on any action through the UI, though mouse was remaining movable. Worked fine until decided to upgrade itself to a newer version of Windows 10 over the air.
