Windows 10: 1903 Repeated Update Failures

I cannot successfully update my Windows 10 installation to version 1903. The system attempts to install, fails at around 24% and rolls back changes with the error code 0x8007042b.


I have attempted a number of solutions (DISM, SFC, Uninstalling 3rd party AV etc). I downloaded and ran the SetupDiag diagnostic tool found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/upgrade/setupdiag and the log indicates a failure due to a specific file but I do not know how to fix this.


Relevant Log results:


Error: SetupDiag reports Migration Unit Gather failure.

Last Phase: Safe OS

Last Operation: Migrate framework (Full)

MigUnit: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Diagnosis [Events_Normal.rbs]

Object Type: File

Operation: READ

Refer to "https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/Debug/system-error-codes" for error information.

Completed Successfully? False



From that it appears that the update process is failing when attempting to read the file C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Diagnosis [Events_Normal.rbs] SFC is not detecting issues with this file (or any others). The error appears to be a CRC error (if I am reading the error code correctly) but, as I say, SFC doesn't find any issues with any system files.


How do I fix this file so that Windows update can successfully read it as part of the update process please?


Thanks for any help you can provide.

Defender Update Failure - Repeated

Hi LeeEkstrom,

I can imagine the inconvenience you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to fix the issue. However, I would appreciate if you could answer a few questions to narrow down the issue in order to provide
you with better assistance.

• Is the issue confined to one update or with all Windows updates?
• Did you make any significant changes prior to the issue?
• From how many days you are facing this issue?

KB2267602 is the latest Definition update for Windows Defender. Some updates require administrative permissions to be installed. Therefore, signing in as an administrator may help resolve the issue. If you are unable to install the updates
then this problem may occur if one or more of the following conditions are true:

• The Windows Update database is corrupted.
• Antivirus software is configured to scan the %Windir%\SoftwareDistribution folder.
• The Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) service does not receive a content link header.
• A required system file is registered incorrectly.

Try the below mentioned methods and see if it works for you.

Method 1

First, I would suggest you to run Windows update troubleshooter
to get the problem automatically detected and fixed. This fixit checks Windows Update Component configuration and repairs, resolves incorrect Windows update data locations, and registers required services. For running the troubleshooter follow the steps mentioned
under the sub title What can I do if I'm having problems installing updates?

Windows Update: FAQ

Method 2

I would suggest you to check if you are able to access Windows Update services and also make sure that the following services are started. If it is not started follow the below mentioned steps:

a. Press Windows key + R, type "services.msc" (without quotes) in start run box and press
Enter.

b. Locate Windows Update service.

c. Right click on the Windows Update service and select
Properties.

d. In Start-up type, select Enable.

e. Click Start under Service status.

f. Click OK.

g. Repeat the steps c to f for the following services also:

Background Intelligent Transfer Service & Cryptographic Service.

If these steps do not help to resolve the issue, then you may proceed with the step mentioned below and check.

Method 3

If issue still persists I would suggest you to reset Windows Update components and for that try to run the
fixit provided in the following article. If you had already tried the same fixit before I would request you to run the fixit again.
