Windows 10: Upgrade to 1809 fails with error 0x80004005-0x1000A

Running 1803 with dual boot with SSD as main partition and hard disc as 2nd partition. I have tried all of the possible "fixes" to no avail. Had similar problem going to 1803 and ended up doing a clean install. Do not want to do that again.

Error message says Downlevel Phase/Prepare_First_Boot failure.

I've tried for months to get the Anniversary Update to work after the dreaded 0x80004005 error without success. I did start to suspect the UEFI as root cause and searching for the error and UEFI came back with this note. And it worked first time!
At last. Thanks so much - and indeed: if Microsoft would have given a more informative message, it would have saved you (and me) a lot of time! Thanks again.
