    Windows 10 Update Error - "We couldn't update the system reserved partition".


    Hello,



    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. I have done a fair bit of work already and I've come to the conclusion that there is an EXTRA ERROR with the Partitions, which is causing the update to stop.



    At the start I was checking the Windows Update window and it said Verbatim ;



    Feature update for Windows 10, version 1909

    Status: Pending download.


    We made some issues select this message to fix and finish updating



    Fix Issues




    I have already gone through the Partitions process to free up some space, but what i notice is that the onehard drive that works for this still has 45% of space available 100Gb free. So this is why i think it has to be another error.



    Please advise.

    :)

    Windows 10 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?
