Windows 10: Update Failure From 1703 to 1909, Exhausted All Options

Hello,

I am on an ASUS G750JH running Windows 10 1703. As of recently I have tried to manually update to the latest edition of Windows which is 1909. I couldn't get it to update and noticed for the past 3 months a Windows update always failed. I've exhausted all my options and any advice would help. The constant error being 0x8007001F.

I would like to keep all my personal files and not have to reinstall anything.

Here is what I've tried:

*Uninstalled latest 1703 update and reinstalled without any issues, could not update to anything newer

*Tried to install 1909, 1903, 1803 from the Microsoft catalog but returns with an error

*Windows Mini Update Tool and Windows Update Manager didn't work

*Windows 10 Update Assistant failed

*Media Creation Tool failed

*Disabled antivirus

*Uninstalled audio drivers

*Restarted the Windows Update Service

*Performed SFC and DISM check, no errors

*Performed a clean boot

*Tried a new user account

All my options have failed which has led me to this forum to seek assistance, any help would be much appreciated.

:)

 

User.000 issue after updating to 1909

I'm one of the many people suffering from issues with user profiles after applying Update 1909 to Windows 10. I've read all the threads I can find on the topic here and have followed the suggestions, all to no avail. Any other thoughts are appreciated.

After applying Update 1909, the ProfileImagePath was changed to c:\users\User.000
One file that was always in use and couldn't be removed was left in c:\users\User (can't recall or find the exact file now), so I could never rename or remove the c:\user\User directory.

I followed the multiple suggestions from Brink and others:

• Rebooted at least 6 times
• Enabled hidden Administrator
• Booted into Safe Mode
• Changed ProfileImagePath
• Tried to rename c:\users\User but couldn't because a file was still in use
• Copied all data from c:\users\User.000 into c:\users\User
• Rebooted and had temporary profile
• Followed steps in Brink tutorial to change ImageProfilePath; rebooted with no change
• Restored using Restore Point from before Update 1909 - returned to single profile state (User.000)
• Removed each update that was installed individually and rebooted after each update removal - profile state never changed
• After all updates were removed, repeated the steps above with hidden Administrator, changing profile, etc. - same issue with file in use in c:\users\User
• Followed all steps above with hidden Administrator but without copying files from User.000 to User - same results

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Since updates can only be delayed for so long, an actual fix would be appreciated.

 

Windows 10 1903 1909 repeated failure to update

Well would't you know it. I did everything, every step, all the suggestions, months of failed downloads and was going to wipe everything tomorrow and start again, but remembered I hadn't tried your suggestion of updating to 1809 before 1903/09, and blow
me down, but it's updated to 1809 with ease!

I have yet to dare to try and get it to update to 1909 but it's the 1st progress in months, so thanks.
