Windows 10: W10 1803 -> 1903 Update Error - "Windows could not configure one or more..."

I have a Dell XPS 7100 with AMD hex core 1075T and 8GB ram. 500GB SSD & 1TB secondary drive.


I've been running W10 1803 quite happily but the nags from Microsoft are becoming irritating as 1803 nears end of support. I've tried installing 1903 at least a dozen times. I've followed every troubleshooting procedure I can find; I've pulled every peripheral including video card and sound card leaving just the mobo and SSD. Still get the same error "Windows could not configure one or more system components. To install Windows, restart the computer then restart the installation". I've updated all my drivers and BIOS.


I have run an install in place. I have not run a clean install because losing my (old) applications would be a disaster. Some of them (like Picasa) even if I could reinstall would lose much valuable information.


I know this PC is not "certified" for W10 so I'd be quite happy to stay with 1803. Is there a way to tell Microsoft to stop bugging me about the update? A total wipeout because of a future security breach would be no worse than having to do a clean install.


If that's not possible I'd sure like to know what's the problem. I created a Windows Update log and it's in my dropbox here:

I would sure appreciate any help.


Thanks, Joe

Windows Home 10 update from 1803 to 1903

I have windows 10 x64 home edition, version 1803.

I'm trying to update it to the new onw, version 1903, but my pc freezes every time when the installation is going to finish (around 80%).

I tried to update the OS in different ways:

1. Start > Settings > Update
   & Security > Windows Update , and then select Check for updates.
   If updates are available, install them.
2. Download the Update Assistant
3. Download the Media Creation Tool 1903

The result is always the same.

No errors, only pc freezing.

What do you suggest to do?

 

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

 

Win 10 1803 to 1903 update

My Desktop computer running Win 10 updated from version 1803 to 1903 a while back, but my Desktop running Win 10 version 1803

I'm assuming the update 1803 to 1903 has now resumed after the earlier problems caused a suspension?

Any thoughts, suggestions?
