Windows 10: Windows 1903 Update Failure !!

Hello, I am writing this post because for the past one month i am having problem in updating to windows 1903. I am using a HP laptop with a dead battery which doesn't work. Let me tell u where is my problem is happening, everytime it happens in the same place..I am having problem with this update only (1903), i haven't faced any problem when updating to 180X (don't remember the exact version), when it came out.


When it (Win update 1903) has finished download in windows update in settings, i click the install now. Then i shows me that- "Windows is updating X%, Your PC will restart several times". Fine, It restarts one time, usually resume the updater updating. Now when it hits around 48%, it suppose to restart but instead of restart, my laptop is shutting down. This thing during the SECOND BOOT of the whole update process everytime. So, when i again starts my laptop, it shows "Undoing changes made to this computer".

Then i opened the windows update in settings and i shows this error- "Failed to install on ‎02-‎11-‎2019 - 0xc1900101".

I searched google about this, it shows that its a DRIVER INCOMPABILITY problem. They shows many solution for this, but none of that works. Let me tell u what i have tried in brief. It doesn't specify which/where is the driver problem or what is the problem..!!


1. Update drivers from device manager and iobit driver updater. (though i don't have any yellow exclamation sign on any driver in device manager).

2. Updated BIOS.

3. Format

4. sfc scannow

5. DISM restore health.

6. settings > troubleshoot > windows update

7. net stop crypt, ms.....rename software distribution, catroot ....

8. Windows assistant update manually


I searched and found the windows update log file, i didn't understand where to find driver problem in that log,its so long.

I also have my setuperr.log and setuppact.log (Same case for both)


Can anyone plz suggest/help me what's the problem here and how to successfully update...

:)

 

Windows 8 failure configuring updates and reverting

I agree 8 is awful! It's not for me though... I replaced a broken screen in a Win 8 laptop that was given to me and I am going to give it for free to someone that can't afford one so they can do homework at home. Yes I took it from 8 to 8.1 back on 10/09/2014. This is what I posted there...

"Great post! I found a similar one. I would like to point out that you may want to edit your OP...

1. Step 1 should read to disable AUTOMATIC updates, not disable manual updates.

2. KB2871398 should really read KB2871389

I would like to say that KB2917499 may also be needed as it was in my case. I also had to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter after installing those 2 updates. After these steps I was able to begin my 8.1 download from the Microsoft store. I don't know if it made a difference or not, but I also went into the Bios and disabled "Secure Boot."

It was a helpful post. Thanks!

 

Cannot update to 1903

O_O thats a lot of steps. Starting in a few mins. Quick question though:
You list a set of instructions for "Windows 10 iso as an in place upgrade repair" with links, and then you included a box for "Routine troubleshooting steps" with 13 steps including links.

Which should I be following first?

PLEASE don't hate me for asking this as this just occurred to me. Should I try the update in Safe mode? I downloaded the MediaCreationTool 1903, but it wasn't successful in doing the update, nor was it successful in creating Usb install.

 

Windows 8 failure configuring updates and reverting

No, the license only applies to the Windows 8 OEM copy the original owner purchased with laptop, it doesn't magically transform into Windows 8.1 Retail one.

OK, so here's the commonly recommended steps that should help you with your problem.

Before you begin, I would recommend you to download both of these files and save them on your USB drive in order to use it later as the only source of third-party packages:

• http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp67001-67500/sp67259.exe
• http://www2.ati.com/drivers/amd-catalyst-14.4-64bit-win8.1-win8-win7-whql-aug.exe

1. The first step would be to recover the original Windows installation using your hard drive partition (the thing that you've done before, I believe). Follow the steps described here (http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03544793#N258) and see if you missed anything. By the end of this operation, make so that your HP product is not connected to any sort of network.

2. Configure your HP device to boot in "clean" mode as described here (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135). Restart once.

3. Run the first file you've downloaded (http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp67001-67500/sp67259.exe) from your just-recovered Windows copy and follow the steps required.

4. Run the AMD package (http://www2.ati.com/drivers/amd-catalyst-14.4-64bit-win8.1-win8-win7-whql-aug.exe). Choose the "Advanced" installation option in order to be able to opt-out the "AMD/Raprt App" and "HydraVision" packages.

5. Establish an Internet connection. Run "Windows Store" tile from your Start screen, and select "Windows 8.1" package.

6. Once you're done with your migration from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, you can install all the critical updates offered by Windows Update, which would be driver software, then Windows 8.1 Update package (KB2919442 > KB2919355 > KB2932046 > KB2959977 > KB2937592 > KB2938439 > KB2934018), "August" Update (KB2993651 > KB2975719 > KB2993100 > KB2979582 > KB2990532 > KB2995004) and .NET Framework 4.5.2 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42642).
