Windows 10: Repeated failures to update to version 1903

As documented in previous postings here, I've tried all of the suggested ways of installing the version 1903 update but continue to get "We couldn't update the system reserved partition."


Here are the Dropbox links for the Panther error logs as requested:

Versions 1809 and 1903 failure to update the system reserved partition.

I've experienced repeated failures to update from Windows 10 version 1803 to version 1903. I receive an error message: "We couldn't update the system reserved partition." The update history shows error # 0x80240034 for failed attempts to update to version
1809 on ‎3/‎12/‎2019 and repeated failures to update to version 1903 in May and July, 2019.

Isn't the "reserved partition" totally under Windows 10 control? If it's full doesn't Windows fix it? I've had two lengthy chat assistance sessions (#1477323951) that ran MediaCreationTool1903 that seemed to reinstall Windows 10 but failed to complete the
update. Both "Ariel B" and "Joey " bailed on me, Ariel after insisting I rate her service before the fix, which failed, completed. Joey just closed the assist window and disappeared with no explanation. Testy robots or tired techies?!

 

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:

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.
