Windows 10: Can't update Windows 10 to version 1903 since it came out

I Can't update Windows 10 to version 1903 since it came out. I've tried everything mentioned in these forums. I've disabled all of my USB ports except for my keyboard. I uninstalled my antivirus programs (bitdefender and malwarebytes). I ran all the system tests i've found that were recommended. I even downloaded the latest version (1903) and try to run i manually. It makes it past the first screen and 100% but then goes to a 'blue' screen and dies out around 58%.


For the past week plus, if i leave my computer for 5 minutes or more, i come back to the blue screen of death. I turned off all screen savers and power saving mode - that didn't work. I installed a 'mouse' program that automatically move my mouse every 10 seconds and that stopped the BSOD. But i suspect the problem lies with the Windows update that has been trying to run ever since it came out. It runs for about 6 - 8 hours and then errors out with error code 0xc0000005 (see images).


I'm at wits end after over a week of dealing with this when i'm trying to get work done. I'm ready to go over to Apple after dealing with Windows issues for years and years.


Please help

Window 10, Version 1903 May Update

Andre:

1. Why are all of the links that you listed not completed. On my computer currently it has Windows 10 Home Version 1803, installed 6/29/2018 with O.S. Build 17134.799. It has used space of 187 GB and 257 GB of free space.

I attempted to install Version 1903 Manually, through Settings/Windows Update, Windows 10 Update Assistant, and other ways without success. I have spent the better part of the past 3 days trying to get this accomplished on my laptop. It has worked on my
PC but not on the laptop.

Listed below are the different error messages that I get after the download stops each time at 90% and converts back to previous settings:

a. Windows 10, Version 1903 error message (0x80240034)

b. We couldn't install this update, but you can try again (0x800703fb)

c. We couldn't install this update, but you can try again (0xC1900101 - 0x4000D)

d. Feature update to Windows 10, Version 1903, We couldn't install this update, but you can try again (0x80070652)

If there are ways to get this latest update installed on my laptop, please let me know what I have to do in detail, step by step.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows 10, version 1903 update failure

Hmm, this is Windows 10 1809 which is the most recent release which is now being succeeded by Windows 10 1903.

I would carry out the steps from my initial reply to reset your Windows Update components.

Have you checked the manufacturers website to determine compatibility?

Your configuration might not be listed yet, since it is just rolling out.

Ultimately, I would wait until the ISO file is available then upgrade offline using these steps:
