    Windows 10 fails to update from 1803 to 1903 with 0x800701B1- 0x2000A


    Hi all,


    I'm soo angry - there is no way i can stop updates , and PC automatically reboots every second night and fails to install 1903 with :


    0x800701B1- 0x2000A
    The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during PREPARE_FIRST_BOOT operation.




    I have tried :

    1. Troubleshooter
    Says i only have an option of pending updates (yes, 1903 pending... Guess what happens if i pick it - installl, reboot, uninstall, reboot)


    2. Using standard Windows update option - no help


    3. Using USB with instalation media - same result


    4. running this from both Safe and normal modes:

    net stop cryptsvc
    net stop wuauserv
    net stop bits
    ren c:\windows\softwaredistribution softwaredistribution.old
    ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old

    SFC /SCANNOW
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth


    The most sad point in all this situation that makes me really cry aloud - i can't really disable the update to 1903 ! It just kicks in automatically rebooting my mahcine , which has to be online 24 hours doing things.


    If theres any guru who could tell me which logs to post from where , and who can try to help me on this - i would be very thankful (And looking at amount of similat questions online i think theres lots of people experiencing same issue)


    Thank you.

    :)

  3. 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?

    Windows 10 fails to update from 1803 to 1903 with 0x800701B1- 0x2000A

    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?
