Windows 10: Having problems with the Windows Feature Update from 1703 to 1909

I never realized that my PC wasn't up to date until I tried to play a game and it told me that my Windows needed to be on version 1903 or later. When I checked, I realized that I was still on version 1703. The problem is, every time I try to update the computer, it doesn't work. The computer initially goes through the regular steps of update until it gets to the blue screen with the loading circle. Then, at exactly 26-7%the same no matter how many times I try it gives one of these:




Then the computer restarts a few times and eventually pulls up a black screen that says "undoing changes made to the computer" before restarting again and opening at the login screen, without the update completed. I've tried every single basic fix, including deleting update files, running a bunch of scripts, using the windows update troubleshooter, but nothing seems to work. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Installation problem regarding Windows 1703 update

Hi Santanu,

There are a number of reasons why you're experiencing this issue. In order to isolate the problem, we need the following information:

• Which build and version of Windows do you currently have?
• 1703 is the Windows 10 Creators Update. If you're already using this version, which specific 1703 feature update is your Windows trying to install?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

We look forward to your response.

 

User.000 issue after updating to 1909

I'm one of the many people suffering from issues with user profiles after applying Update 1909 to Windows 10. I've read all the threads I can find on the topic here and have followed the suggestions, all to no avail. Any other thoughts are appreciated.

After applying Update 1909, the ProfileImagePath was changed to c:\users\User.000
One file that was always in use and couldn't be removed was left in c:\users\User (can't recall or find the exact file now), so I could never rename or remove the c:\user\User directory.

I followed the multiple suggestions from Brink and others:

• Rebooted at least 6 times
• Enabled hidden Administrator
• Booted into Safe Mode
• Changed ProfileImagePath
• Tried to rename c:\users\User but couldn't because a file was still in use
• Copied all data from c:\users\User.000 into c:\users\User
• Rebooted and had temporary profile
• Followed steps in Brink tutorial to change ImageProfilePath; rebooted with no change
• Restored using Restore Point from before Update 1909 - returned to single profile state (User.000)
• Removed each update that was installed individually and rebooted after each update removal - profile state never changed
• After all updates were removed, repeated the steps above with hidden Administrator, changing profile, etc. - same issue with file in use in c:\users\User
• Followed all steps above with hidden Administrator but without copying files from User.000 to User - same results

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

 

Windows Update History shows both Feature Updates 1903 and 1909 installed

After I installed the Windows 10 Feature Update from 1903 to 1909 my Windows Update History shows

Feature Updates (2)

Feature Update to Windows 10, version 1909 (2)

Feature Update to Windows 10, version 1903

Looking in the About page it lists Version 1909 OS Build 18363.720

In the past when I've installed a Feature Update it only shows the new update. In other words in this case it would only show 1909. Since it shows 1903 also is my computer really upgraded to 1909? Also the (2) after the 1909 is something I don't understand.

I would appreciate any help on this.
