Windows 10: Windows 10 (1803) update gets stuck when updating to 1809, 1903

Hello!

Does anyone have an idea regarding my desperate attempts to update my Toshiba laptop windows 10 (currently 1803) to1809 (and now to 1903). The background is as follows: the update gets downloaded with no issues, then the installation begins. And it gets stuck (each time with different percentage complete, it may even be 100%) but in anyway it gets stuck for hours and even days. After that it falls with an error message like this one: "Last failed install attempt on ‎30/‎09/‎2019 - 0xc19001e1" (the error code is different all the times, googling the codes does not give anything intelligible)




While the installation process is in progress the "Modern Setup Host" is running consuming quite a lot of resources:




It may continue for days. One day it falls with an error mentioned above.
There is no interactive communication with a user, so the only thing I have to analyze what's going on inside of the installation task is the log. And this is probably the only clue:




The setupact.log file stops receiving any updates exactly at the step highlighted above. It does not say about any error and some previous steps seem completed with no issues.


So, does anybody have a clue on what's wrong with my windows update?

(My laptop had initially Windows 8.1 and was updated to Windows 10 years ago. Since that time I've been updating it many times to each stable build and didn't experience any trouble)




Thank you for any suggestion.

:)

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.

Next Major Windows 10 Update Named "Spring Creators Update"

The next Windows 10 service pack major update has been named "Spring Creators Update." Windows Insider Program users toying with Build 17618 of the operating system spotted a listing of all the major updates of Windows 10 known to the build, when running "Get-VMHostSupportedVersion" in Power Shell. The last entry reads "Microsoft Windows 10 Spring Creators Update 1803." The version number (1803 in this case), often coincides with the public release date of the update. The Fall Creators Update 1709, released in 2017-09 (September) to Insiders. Going by that convenion, Spring Creators Update could see a "branded" Insider preview build this month, 2018-03 (March), with a public release usually 3-4 weeks after, presumably before Summer kicks in.
