Windows 10: "Error 0x800703ee" Every time I try to update Windows to 1909 or 2004

I'm currently on Windows 10 1809, and I want to update to 1909 and then 2004 so I can install the Xbox Gamepass stuff and play flight simulator pretty irrelevant to the problem. When I run the Xbox Installer and begin the windows update with Windows 10 Update Assistant, it'll eventually fail saying "we can't tell if windows has enough space to continue installing windows 10", though it obviously does my Windows drive still has 468GB free space. Trying to update through Windows Update and not the Update Assistant returns "There were problems installing some updates, but we'll try again later. Feature update to Windows 10, version 1909 - Error 0x800703ee".



I've tried just about every solution I see online: Installing through an ISO file, unplugging every drive except my OS drive, and running file checking stuff like SFC to check for corrupted files and none of it has helped. The one problem I did notice is that my OS drive didn't have a System Reserved partition for some reason, so I created one by using windows built in drive manager, making some unallocated space, then creating a 700MB partition named "System Reserved" and not assigning it a drive letter but that also didn't help.

Anniversary Update - error 0x800703ee


Hi and greetings from Sweden!

New on the forum, long time lurker.

So my problem. Windows 10 wont update. Error code "0x800703ee". Things i have tried so far:

• Cleaned and restarted Windows Update
• SFC /Scannow
• Followed this guide: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/w...d-8928bd7831be
• Tried updating via ISO
• Tried the" Win 10 Upgrade Assistant"

A while ago i had to recreate my EFI parition, perhaps it has something to do with it?
The last thing is to do a clean install, but such a hassel with all my hours of customization down the drain.

Thank you in advance.

Did you solve your problem? I have exact same problem; Error 0x800703ee when windows 10 tries installing 1607. I've also tried your initial steps; no luck.
