In this article, we’re going to list the most common Windows 10 build 16226 bugs reported by users. Unfortunately, the solutions available for these issues are few and far between.

Windows 10 build 16226 issues

Install repeatedly stops

Hundreds of Insiders still can’t install this build because the download process repeatedly stops with error 0x80240034. And if the download eventually succeeds, the install process won’t start. It seems that the culprit for the download issues is .NET Framework 3.5. Uninstalling this tool should allow the update to finish normally.

PC freezes

Many of the Insiders who managed to install build 16226 on their computers now bitterly regret their decision. This version is quite unstable, causing their PC to freeze every five seconds leaving them unable to use their devices. Insiders also identified the culprit causing this problem: ctfmon.exe. If you open the Task Manager, you’ll see that ctfmon.exe is constantly crashing and restarting. Microsoft has already acknowledged the issue and explained that if you have certain languages installed, ctfmon.exe will go into a crash loop, causing constant PC freezes. Currently, the list of impacted languages includes: Kiswahili, Basque, Armenian, Estonian, Romansh, Scottish Gaelic, Serbian (Latin), Bulgarian, Serbian (Cyrillic), Irish, Latvian, Macedonian, Zulu South, Norwegian, Hausa, Albanian, Afrikaans, Georgian, Uzbek, Slovenian, Bosnian, Konkani, Malay, Xhosa, Bangla, Kinyarwanda, Australian English, Galician, Azerbaijani, Kazakh, and Lithuanian. As a workaround, Microsoft recommends uninstalling the impacted language via Settings > Time & Language > Region & Language. However, Insiders confirmed that this action doesn’t solve the problem at all. For the time being, the only viable solution is to roll back to the previous build version.
