I've been trying to update to a new build on the Canary channel but it fails on reboot. (see screenshot)

3f6632b7-42e5-4895-bd1c-fbeec4a36d89

I've tried 25931 via windows update and ISO and today 25947 via windows update after a clean install of 25393.

I have always used VirtualBox for the insider preview and this is the first time having a problem. I also tried using 25931.iso for a clean install but VirtualBox will not boot from the ISO.

Any ideas anyone?

    Hello,

    I highly recommend to disconnect external devices while you perform the upgrade.

    Hope this helps!
