Windows 10: Unknown Error Code

In trying to install the January 2020 cumulative update, the installation gets to 100% then I get the following message:


There were problems installing some updates, but we'll try again later.


2020-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1903 for x64-based Systems KB4532695 - Error 0x800f0988


This is the second cumulative update that has failed to install properly. I have 19.2 GB of free space on my C: drive after deleting a few programs that came with the computer that I will never use, and other programs I no longer need.


Please advise what this error message means, and how I can get the cumulative update installed.

BIOS error codes

So I have motherboard with installed small LED screen, which presents BIOS error codes.

Where can I find a list of those errors. And I don't mean beep codes, but the "number" codes.

Ex after installing sound card, the motherboard startup fails with the code 15.

Example picture of code is here.

 

Windows 10 will not activate Error code 0x803F7001


Possibly there can be the problem with Microsoft activation Server, so your Windows 10 is not activated. In this scenario, you need to wait and verify if it is the issue from Microsoft’s side. But if you are getting error code 0x803f7001, you can also try these steps:

1. Open Settings app. Then go to Update and security > Activation screen > Change product.
2. Type your Windows edition product key and click Next.
3. You’ll get We couldn’t activate Windows error message.
4. Retry steps 1-3 then type your 25-characters unique product key.
5. Wait for the process to complete, Windows 10 is activated.

Hope something helps this problem
