Windows 10: Windows has failed to install feature updates since December 2019

Hi all,


I'm having trouble getting my windows to install Feature update to Windows 10, version 1909



Installation has been failing at 75%


My version is Win 10 Home 64 build 17134

Last failed install attempt on ‎26/‎07/‎2020 - 0x80246010


Now I see that its been attempting to install this update since last year with various errors.

0x8007054f

0x80070652

0xc1900130


I've used the update troubleshooter over and over, re downloaded that latest update and it repeatedly fails to install.


Since then I posted a question here and followed the below steps:




Follow the steps on this guide to reset windows update and try updating again Take note that you will need to run the command prompt as an administrator:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deploy... I reset windows update and followed the full instructions in your first link. Update installation still failed.




However, if the issue still persists, you can try using Windows Media Creation Tool to update your pc. There is an option to keep all files and apps
Please refer to the following link and click on download tool now under "Create Windows 10 installation media":
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

After download, run the Media Creation Tool then select "upgrade this pc now" and click on next. It will download the latest window and then install it. But before installation, it will allow you to choose between keep all files and apps, keep all apps only or clean installation.


I used the Windows Media Creation Tool to update as per your instructions. After first restart my PC booted back to desktop and a small error window said your windows 10 installation has failed. There was no other information.



If the issue still persists, try run the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/929833...


I followed the full instructions and ran DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth followed by the the system file checker.Both ran successfully and this time no errors or corrupted files were found by sfc /scannow which is great.



I tried again to run windows update and again, installation failed at 70 something percent with error 0x8007054f

Feature update to Windows 10, version 1909 - Error 0x8007054f


Any ideas what I can try next?

Windows Updates failed to instal

I'm not sure how differant XP media center Edition is but you could clear the history \ cache if these folders are there.

Step 1 Register DLL files.

=================

By trying this step, we can check if the update engines are working properly.



1. Close all instances of Internet Explorer.

2. Click Start and Run, type "Regsvr32 atl.dll" (without quotes) in the Open box and click OK.



Note: There is a space between regsvr32 and atl.dll



3. Similarly, one by one, register the files listed below:



Regsvr32 msxml3.dll

Regsvr32 wuapi.dll

Regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

Regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll

Regsvr32 wups2.dll

Regsvr32 wucltui.dll

Regsvr32 wups.dll

Regsvr32 wuweb.dll

Regsvr32 qmgr.dll

Regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

Regsvr32 jscript.dll



Note: If you encounter errors while registering any of these files then skip that file and continue with the next one.



If the issue persists, let's move on to the steps below to verify Windows Update services and temporary folders.



Step 2 Verify the relevant Windows Update services.

=========================================

1. Click Start->Run, type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in the open box and click OK.

2. Double click the service "Automatic Updates".

3. Click on the Log On tab, please ensure the option "Local System account" is selected and the option "Allow service to interact with desktop" is unchecked.

4. Check if this service has been enabled on the listed Hardware Profile. If not, please click the Enable button to enable it.

5. Click on the tab "General "; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic" or "Manual". Then please click the button "Stop" under "Service Status" to stop the service.

6. Then please click the button "Start" under "Service Status" to start the service.

7. Please repeat the above steps with the other services:



Background Intelligent Transfer Service

Event Log

Remote Procedure Call (RPC)



Note: Event log service is enabled on all of the hardware profiles; this service does not have an option to enable or disable on certain hardware profile.



If it still does not help, let's proceed to step 3.



Step 3 Reload the Update temporary folders.

===================================

One possible cause is that the temporary folder for Windows Update is containing corrupted files. Let's erase all the files there to get the system clean.



1. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



Net stop WuAuServ



2. Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press Enter.

3. In the opened folder, rename the folder SoftwareDistribution to Sdold.

4. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



Net start WuAuServ



Please test the Windows Update website and let me know the result. If the issue persists, to clarify the issue and provide more accurate troubleshooting steps, please assist me in collecting the following information.
