![]() ![]() If you start a Upgrade TS, UPGBackground should launch, once the upgrade procedes and reboots for the first time, the default Windows 10 Upgrade progress will be shown (similar to upgbackground) and once it’s at logon screen it is supposed to be upgraded. I’m not quite sure why this needs to launch after a reboot? I then had to boot into recovery and delete the EXE’s with CMD to get past this thing. In fact, I left it overnight, and next day it was still spinning. I would think that after the hard shutdown, the task sequence was broken and didn’t start again, but UPGBackground didn’t self-destruct after 12 min. I can’t get passed it and I can’t access DEBUG. I did a hard shutdown, started again, and UPGBackground started again. I waited 1 more hour, but nothing was happening. I could click the left top corner as much as I wanted to, it didn’t do a thing. I just had a case where the TS was started, UPGBackground started, and after 2h nothing was happening.ĭEBUG mode didn’t start. Chances for failure are much bigger than for success. If a failure or misconfiguration causes the Task Sequence not to start at all UPGBackground will close and uninstall itself in 12-14 minutes.In the event the TS breaks, not fails, but completely breaks – the application has a built-in selfdestruction function and will eventually (2-4 minutes) uninstall itself.It should be fine to add it directly after the install command if everything works as intended. In the sample below I have placed the SMSTSPostaction variable in the end of each section because we have seen that the SMSTSPostaction command is executed on every reboot in some SCCM versions. To uninstall it when the upgrade is complete or has failed, we use a SMSTSPostaction that simply runs the uninstall command as shown below. We install the UPGBackground in the Task Sequence as an application as show below.Īs soon as it is installed it will launch automatically. I will cover TSLaunch in detail in a later post, with possibly a video as well as you can do so many things with it. To launch it we can use TSLaunch which is another tool Johan has written. UPGBackground will detect the file and try to use its content line for line.Įxample content of the UPGBackground.txt file in Swedish msi file named “UPGBackground.txt” as shown below and it will be copied along to the installation folder. The language support is limited to one at the time. UPGBackground shows only three lines of text, default language is English as shown above. Once the password is entered the following options are displayed. When UPGbackground then runs you can right click in the top-left corner and a password prompt will appear. The Password can be configured for example using a Collection Variable called “UPGDebugPassword” as shown below. There is a builtin debug mode that is password protected the same way as OSDBackground is. If you downloaded it before please download it again as some bugs have been solved. It supports multiple screens as well and great feedback from the community has made it even better. This will prevent any curious end-user to log on before the upgrade is complete and possible break the upgrade or loose data. Except for a debug password, it requires no configuration and it will survive a reboot at is launched as a Service. In short this it is a full screen application that disables certain system key combinations such as ctr+alt+del and Alt-F4. UPGBackground will cover the entire screen, regardless if a user is logged on or not. For those of you who use OSDBackground we can call it OSDBackgrounds little sister □ You will recognize the debug feature which is the same in both. We will start this blog series with a post on one of the tools UPGBackground. Our team and other community members will get back to you with a response as soon as possible.My dear colleague Johan Schrewelius has created some awesome tools for making it easier to upgrade/service Windows 10 to Windows 10 releases using a Task Sequence.
