So, none of the advice regarding Window Update's relatively new "*Some settings are managed by your organization" feature has worked. Oh, I'm my organization and it's unfortunate that only "some" settings can be managed by me. I tried all of the policy mods and registry fixes suggested by the Community and nothing works.So, Sumit, one of the fellas in this group, advised me to download and run the "Media Creation Tool20H2".

Windows 10 1909 Upgrade Freezes at 48%

I am having problem with Windows 10 1909 Upgrade Freezes at 48%. Tried installation twice and failed. Any suggestion on how to complete the upgrade ? Please advise.

 

Upgrade to 20H2 failed

The laptop was offered the feature upgrade to Win 10 20H2. It is still running 1903. It had failed 1909, 2004 with this error 0x80004005 - 0x1000A,The installation failed in the DOWNLEVEL phase with an error during PREPARE_FIRST_BOOT operation.

Since Microsoft does not like this laptop anymore I had done a chkdsk, a SFC / scannow and a disk error check from the properties tab. All errors fixed.

I stopped MS secutity, firewall and the Avast security for the upgrade.

Downloading and installing took some time and it looked as if the laptop was going through the motions. At the end it had just reverted to 1903 again.

What else can I do short of a complete reset?

Good, a step forward. Again, please post a screenshot of your partitions, advise the result of your upgrade attempt, then follow @zbook's instructions if problems and I'll leave the thread as usual with him.
