Windows 10: Windows 10 Update Problems with KB5003637

Hello everyone, I found this forum while having an update problem with Windows 10 (Build 19042.867) and hope that someone here can help me fixing it. I cannot install the current Windows 10 update KB5003637. The update installs and reaches 100% but then stops with the error code 0x800f081f and unwinds the update process. I tried to analyze the error and found several ressources online that point to different possible solutions. First, running 'sfc /scannow' and 'dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth' and retry the update - no success, same error. Then I found a few reports that this update produces this error when Microsoft Edge is uninstalled. Indeed I uninstalled several Windows 10 Apps using the PowerShell's Remove-AppxPackage command. I also uninstalled the Edge Browser, still this is impossible using the PowerShell. For this, I used setup.exe --uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall in the 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\<Version>\Installer' directory and thereafter deleted the Legacy Edge Browser by using install_wim_tweak.exe /o /c Microsoft-Windows-Internet-Browser-Package /r called by a batch file to uninstall Edge Legacy that I found somewhere online. So indeed, both Edge versions are removed from my Windows installation. So might this cause this error? Anyway, for further testing I tried to reinstall Edge. Reinstalling Edge Chromium works fine, but the update still does not work. Additionally, I also tried to reinstall Edge Legacy. I copied the package source directory 'C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe' from a working Windows 10 installation, thereafter running in PowerShell Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" -Verbose} generally works at first but stops with an IOException. I did not find out any more whats going wrong. I know that it is possible to install missing Windows components by using a fresh installation of Windows 10 that keeps all applications and settings, I think this behaves similarly to certain major updates that leave a 'Windows.old' directory. This might be the way to go if nothing else helps, but whats the best way to proceed here? Wait until the update might be fixed by itself? A repair installation seems a bit too much for me here, I think its a pretty simple issue once one know whats going wrong... Appreciating any comments. Thanks in advance!

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.

 

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

Here

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
