Windows 10: Critical Update Failure for Windows 10 Feature Updates 1809 and 1903.

Hello there!

Just over a week ago, I brought my current machine. It runs perfectly! Upon tying to play Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare/Warzone, I was told I needed to install the latest Windows 10 Feature Update. Much to my surprise, this failed and I haven't been able to sucessfully install it for about a week now.

Problem:
I'm currently running Windows 10 Professional 1607. I go about the update process the usual way, but upon reaching this screen - I start to face issues. BOTH versions 1809 and 1903 are failing at this point after the first restart. If it's not this visible blue screen error (DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG), the screen breifly freaks out and then the system reboots. This then loops endlessly until Windows reverts changes and brings me back to 1607.

What I've Tried So Far:

• Sfc /scannow - produced no abnormal results.
• Dskchk on both drives (both in read-only and /f mode) - again reported no problems.
• Windows Update Trouble Shooter - did bring back four issues. It was only able to fix three of those itself, the fourth being a "Potential Windows Update Database Corruption". I have tried twice to remove all updates and reinstall (as reccomended), only to be faced with the same issue regarding 1809/1903.
• Used the DISM command. Appeared to do nothing so left it alone.
• Simply rolling back all updates and starting again didn't seem to fix the issue either.

I'm just confused. The machine runs perfectly, no issues at all until it comes to Windows Update. It just won't do it. I've tried to explain my issue in as much detail as possible, please let me know if there is anymore information I can give to you, I can boot into Windows. Here I've attatched a couple of videos demonstrating the issues I'm facing. I hope these help.

Thank you in advance for your time, I've spent far too many hours on this myself.

Windows 10 Pro 1709 update to 1803, 1809 or 1903?

In theory your current settings will be delaying updates to a point where there should not be any stability or quality issues. All being well you will have a years worth of quality issues in that version fixed.

• If you want latest with potential teething troubles then go for 1903.
  
• 1809 has been out for more than 6 months so there should no longer be any show-stopping bugs or errors, everything should just work
  
• your current settings are postponing feature updates for 1 year and as a result you are offered 1803. This version should be solid, by now well tested and fairly mature.
  
  The version number of 1803 x64 2019-07B suggests that it is downloading it with all relevant updates to July 2019, meaning you are getting all the fixes without the problems of a newer "feature" update such as 1809 or 1903.
  

If you want best stability and least chance of issues then let it install the version it is proposing.

If you want to live on the edge then go for something newer.

If your system is mission critical and you have no backups then you want stability. If you want features but can tolerate a bit of risk then you want the latest.

Running Windows update Trouble Shooter is not solving the issue.

 

Windows 10 1903 1909 repeated failure to update

Well would't you know it. I did everything, every step, all the suggestions, months of failed downloads and was going to wipe everything tomorrow and start again, but remembered I hadn't tried your suggestion of updating to 1809 before 1903/09, and blow
me down, but it's updated to 1809 with ease!

I have yet to dare to try and get it to update to 1909 but it's the 1st progress in months, so thanks.
