    Windows 10 20H1 version 2004 Update Error - "We couldn't update the system reserved partition"


    Hi,


    I am writing because I am trying to finish a Windows Update and I'm having a lot of problems getting it done.
    The error I keep getting is regarding the Partition and no matter what I do still gives me that error.

    This is the picture from the Disk Management if that can help.

  4. Windows 10 20H1 version 2004 Update Error - "We couldn't update the system reserved partition"

    We couldn't update the system reserved partition - Windows 10 1803 Updates won't install

    The usual suggestion is to clean it out.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3086249/we-couldn-t-update-system-reserved-partition-error-installing-windows

    Are you implying DISM is showing a message about bootmgr? What is the message exactly? You may need to use a different DISM syntax and point to a /source:

    Otherwise it may be bogus. For a possibly related incident see

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-update-winpc/windows-10-update-kb3213986-fails-repeatedly-with/46d9b1af-71a6-4d39-acaf-c3882047ac12

    What are the details for that?
