Windows 10: cannot update to window 10 1909 from 1909 with error 0xc142012

Hello I'm trying to upgrade to newer version, since about 8 months: hopefully Version 1909, but Iwould like to reach Version 2004

Please help me solving this issue, as it's so long that I have it and no one from Microsoft Official channel can send me a resolution.

Current status
OS Windows 10 x64 -Version 1809 OS Build 17763.113
Laptop model: Toshiba Tecra W50-A 32 GB RAM
free space 100+ GB
Bitlocker enabled with TMP on drice C:\ the only drive

In the past 8 months I cannot upgrade with Windows Update to Feature update to Windows 10, version 1909 with error 0xc1420121.
Same error for version 2004.
Disabled Sophos antivirus and do a clean boot removing all non-MS services.


Hence I execute as Administrator:

net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver
And from PowerShell as Administrator
wuauctl.exe /updatenow
reboot and no luck.


I contacted @MicrosoftHelp on Twitter


As per hints I execute Windows Update Troubleshooterlink: https://msft.it/6016T5ET8 with output

Windows 10 1909 Causes Secondary Hard Drive to not be Recognized

Installing the Windows 10 1909 Update causes my secondary hard drive to not be recognized.

Steps to confirm issue:

• Secondary drive not visible in device manager
• Secondary drive not visible in disk manager

Steps to replicate issue:

Steps to resolve issue:

• Uninstall 1909 update

Since updates can only be delayed for so long, an actual fix would be appreciated.

 

Completely missing Dot Net in Windows 10 -1909?

.NET Framework is built-into Windows 10 version 1903 and Windows 10 version 1909. It is not possible for at least this version of the .NET Framework to be installed.

The error you have received, is likely due to the fact the application you are attempting to use, is specifically trying to target a version of the .NET Framework you don't have installed. I suggest using official Microsoft tool to download a Windows 10 version 1909 ISO. You can use the Media Creation Tool and/or the Upgrade Assistant. Windows ISO Downloader was only recently updated to support .NET Framework 4.8 on November 8th 2019. If you were not using Version 8.22, and would like to still use the tool, you need to download that version.

RaymondCC .NET Detector looks at registry keys that are created when you install .NET Framework. It does not support the .NET Framework version that are included with Windows 8.0+

The built-in version of the .NET Framework for Windows 10 version 1903 was .NET Framework 4.8

.NET Framework 4.5+ has never been located in the list of Windows Features for any version of Windows. The lack of .NET Framework 3.5 is likely due to your WinSxS directory not containing it.

You can install .NET Framework 3.5 if you run the same command you ran, but provide a source, to the components you need.

This is due to the fact the .Net Framework 4.8 is already installed on Windows 10 version 1903 and Windows 10 version 1909. .NET Framework 4.8 is an in-place upgrade to .NET Framework 4.5

This normally only happens when you have moved vital folders like the user's profile to a non-standard location.

Your inability to install .NET Framework 3.5 is extremely easy to fix and likely the reason your unable to run the third-party application. Perform the following steps to solve that problem.

1. Download a Windows 10 version 1909 ISO
   
2. Mount the ISO within Windows 10
   
3. Run the following command, the command assumes, the drive letter assigned to the virtual mount is D:
   
   • DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:d:\sources\sxs
     

Source: Deploy .NET Framework 3.5 by using Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM)

 

Windows 10 update 1909

Hey,

I've just clean installed windows 10. It is build 1803.

Today awesome 1909 have launched. I want to update to 1909 but in settings it is showing me option to upgrade to 1809. My friend told me I have to upgrade to 1809, then 1903 and then finally 1909.

I want to directly upgrade to 1909 without going through intermediate steps. How can I do this?
