Windows 10: FFU image application fails with error 0x80070057

I'm attempting to apply an FFU image that I captured from an identical computer.


The platform is an embedded computer based on the Intel Atom Bay Trail processor.

The BIOS is UEFI.

The OS is Windows 10 Pro 1909.

The drive being captured and applied to is a SATA solid state drive.

There are five partitions being captured: the Windows partition, and empty data partition both formatted NTFS and the three additional partitions created by Windows Setup for a UEFI-based system.

The drive being applied to is clean, unformatted.

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tools version: 10.0.18362.1.

Command line used to capture:

dism /capture-ffu /imagefile=<imagefile_pathname> /capturedrive=\\.\PhysicalDrive0 /name:disk0 /description:"Image File"


Command line used to apply:

dism /apply-ffu /imagefile=<imagefile_pathname> /applydrive:\\.\PhysicalDrive0


These command lines were based on the samples on the Microsoft pageCapture and apply Windows Full Flash Update FFU images. I have since noticed that the documentation specifies colons in place of the equal signs. I am going to try the procedure now with colons but I want to get this question posted now. I will update with any developments.


The on-screen error referenced error number 87 0x57 and suggested verifying the command line and checking the log file. Here are the error lines from the log file:

This block of errors appears twice in the log file with only the times snipped from the above and the process and thread IDs differing.


Thanks for reading. If you need additional info, just ask.

Error 0x80070057 - Updates failing

No need to be sorry. I'm not expecting you to be sitting there as my real time support assistant . I do really appreciate your help though.

So, I went through the suggestions in the links I posted. The sfc /scannow had failed in normal boot mode. The recommendation was to run it in safe mode, which was my last attempt. It came back stating there were no issues, and finished fine. WFT?

Anyway, I now will go down the path of your suggestions above.

Thanks again.

P.S. - By the way, I'm back to the 0x80070057 error. System is schizophrenic.

 

Error 0x80070057 - Updates failing

I ran all the cmds you listed and all were find. Indicated no problems.

Ran the Windows Update. Still Failed.

Downloaded it per your link and it installed successfully.

Interestingly, when I run Windows Update, it still shows this:





For now, I'm going to assume that once it runs an automatic check it will clear that out.
