When Windwas released, there was a block in place for certain hardware models including the Surface line. Microsoft has gotten a little better with this area by keeping this site updated, however from a client installation perspective, it is often difficult or even impossible to match up an error message/code with anything published on that site (or any other Microsoft site). The flaw in this feature is the lack of visibility into what is being blocked and how/when it should be unblocked. This is a pretty great feature since it helps prevent unnecessary failures for already known issues that Microsoft is possibly already working to address. For each release, Microsoft has the ability to block the update from being installed or even showing up in Widows Update for applications/drivers/devices that have known compatibility issues. Windows 10 Feature Updates are released twice per year. This information is provided for educational purposes only. The blocks exist for a reason and should be respected.
