Installation issues with Windows 10 version 1803
Installation issues with Windows 10 version 1803
Hello, the update to version 1803 prompted the system to remove Symantec Endpoint Protection. You can try reinstalling it manually or checking if the removal was accidental. If needed, consider using a third-party tool to restore it. Let me know if you need further help!
Symantec often adds extra components like an updater (separate from the main program), ensure all Symantec elements are cleared, and restart afterward.
I've checked, and theres nothing left. Is there any way I can force the update to install?
Consider remaining registry entries that require manual cleanup. Launch Regedit, look for items containing "Symantec," and remove them. You can also perform a forced Windows 10 update using the Media Creation Tool—choose to install from a USB drive, select "Install" and then "Upgrade," or pick the option to skip installing programs and keep only your personal files. After completion, you'll need to reinstall everything again.
I scanned the registry and removed all entries with symantec in the name, until I discovered a windows update program that mentioned its issue. The final part was a folder on the desktop with setup.exe for SEP, which confused me. Why can't the program directly provide the path? It's frustrating... But thanks for your help!
