Windows 10: Win 10 update 1903 fails to install

Hello everyone.

I tried to install this update four times in different ways and it failed, failed, failed and failed to install.

This is the error and brief explanation I'm getting:


0x80070005 - 0x2000A
The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during PREPARE _FIRST_BOOT operation


I have done a clean boot and I have the ISO file on my laptop and on a USB drive.

No updates are pending.

I'm guessing the problem is during re-booting, it fails the safe check: what can I do to fix this?

Any other ideas?

Thank you.

:)

 

Windows Updates failed to instal

I just did step one and they have just all installed.... thank you so much.... it was quite frustrating having that update window pop up every 5 minutes and failing to instal every time

Thanks mate

 

Win 10 1809 kb4497934 update fails with 0x80070157

Hello,

I tried all suggestions up to upgrading to 1903 from

step 1 in fixes. I also tried step 2. None of the fixes

solved the problem. I am not willing to upgrade to

1903 - not during the first month of availability! Do

you take me for a fool? Windows Update continues

to be the most unreliable component of Win 10.

 

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?
