  1. 1903 update failed; tried everything listed.


    The 1903 update fails with error code 0x80070003, saying some update files are missing or have problems. Here is what I've tried so far:


    I deleted all files in C:\SoftwareDistribution and tried again. it failed again.

    I made sure there is plenty of room on the drive.

    I updated the video driver (Nvidia).

    I ran chkdsk C:/f.

    I ran sfc /scannow. It found corrupt files but fixed them.

    I ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth. It found no problems.

    I used the MCT to create an ISO. When I ran that, I chose not to download updates. It failed.

    I again deleted SoftwareDistribution and tried to update online again. It failed again.


    What else can I do?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 fails to update


    When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

    Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

    I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.

    Failed updates

    Hi Lozo,

    There are several possible reasons why Windows Updates are failing such as system file corruption or software conflict. For us to effectively assist you with your concern, we would like to know the following:

    • Are there error messages associated with the failed updates?
    • What's the result of the Windows Update Troubleshooter? Did it detect any issues?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far? This is to prevent us from providing the same steps.

    In the meantime, we recommend that you check this
    page
    and follow the instructions on how to troubleshoot Windows Update issues. If you've already tried some of the suggested steps in the article, you can skip those and proceed to the next one.

    Keep us posted and we'll be willing to assist you further.

    Cannot update to 1903

    O_O thats a lot of steps. Starting in a few mins. Quick question though:
    You list a set of instructions for "Windows 10 iso as an in place upgrade repair" with links, and then you included a box for "Routine troubleshooting steps" with 13 steps including links.

    Which should I be following first?

    PLEASE don't hate me for asking this as this just occurred to me. Should I try the update in Safe mode? I downloaded the MediaCreationTool 1903, but it wasn't successful in doing the update, nor was it successful in creating Usb install.
