Windows 10: Cannot update from 1803 to 1909

For the past few days, ive been trying to update my windows 10 from version 1803 to 1909. Each time everything goes well untill "working on updates" reaches 89%. This has happened 4 times, each time I had to shut down and undo the changes. The longest I've waited on the 89% mark is about 15 hours. Ive tried updating using windows update assistant, media creation tool through " upgrade this pc now" and the iso file. Ive uninstalled my antivirus, have around 280GB free space, ran a couple commands on command prompt to scan and repair through DISM.exe, used disk cleanup to clean windows update files, renamed the catroot2 folder, deleted the contents of softwaredistribution/download folder, uninstalled some old programs, using the windows update troubleshooter, ran setupdiag.exe to find the error 0xC1900101-0x4000d, checked if my drivers were updated.


These were all the solutions Ive found online, none which worked. Im not sure if i should clean install because i dont want to install all my applications again.


It is also worth mentioning that after i tried updating the first time, the "check for new updates" tells me that my pc is up to date no matter how much i troubleshoot windows update. This was also the case after i used disk cleanup. Can anybody help me?

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 10 update 1909

Hi Sarthak

No you do not need to update to 1809 - 1903 if you are currently on version 1803, then version 1909 will appear in the list of updates and will automatically be installed on your PC since 1803 has run out of support

You do not need to do anything, 1909 is currently spreading around the world, just give it time to appear in the list of pending updates . . .
