Windows 10: Fail update to version 1803

About 3 weeks ago my computer just started randomly freezing whereas the mouse still moved so I tried updating but it keeps freezing during the update or it just plainly fails. I was getting error 0x80073712. I have tried using the Windows Update Assistant, using the Windows.iso and even trying to download the update manually but same thing happens and the manual update says that it is not compatible with my computer. Some times the update would just freeze my computer with a black screen and the cursor frozen in a random location.

Can anyone help me? Please and thank you!

Unable to update Windows 10 Pro version 1709 to 1803

Have made several attempts to update Windows 10 version 1709 to the latest version 1803 and have not been successful.

I've done the following per some suggestions found online:

• Updated drivers
• Ran the Trouble Shooter for Windows 10 (Errors found were shown to be "Fixed" per the tool)
• Unplugged the printer

Although not at every attempt, I have received the following errors:

• 0xc1900101
• 0x80070643

Can someone please advise me as to what the errors are and provide me with the steps to update Windows.

Thank you.

 

Update version 1803 (3) always fails with error 0x80240034

That error code means the download could not complete successfully....

In such cases, an in-place upgrade using an ISO made by Microsoft's Media Creation Tool should succeed where windows update fails. Note that the MCT now makes install media for the current version which is 1809. That should not be a problem and would be the version I'd use in your place (and am using on my PC).

But if you really insist on upgrading to 1803 you'll need to use an 1803 ISO. This 3rd-party tool from Heidoc can generate a link to get one direct from Microsoft.

 

version 1803


I too manually updated to 1803 using the ISO. But I was confident that it would be successful as the 'Features Update to Windows 10, version 1803' was listed from day one when I manually checked for updates. If it doesn't appear there it doesn't necessarily mean the upgrade will fail, but it does increase the risk that it may.

Glad to hear 1803 is working for you. *Thumbs
