Windows 10: Windows Update 1809 Fails - Error 0xc00000fd

Hello.

I am having trouble updating Windows 10 to 1809 (currently on 1803).

This is a Zoostorm PC and has never had any issues updating before.

Processor is an Intel Celeron CPU G540.

I have tried about 15 times and it always fails on 37% and then restarts.

On two occasions, the screen has gone black and I was forced to restart (the second time this happened, I left it for 13 hours just in case).

Any ideas?

So far I have tried:

* Simply using Windows Update.

* Attempted in Safe Mode.

* Using the Media Creation Tool (via USB).

* Using the Update Assistant.

* I have unplugged ethernet during install.

* I have unplugged all USB devices during install.

* Stopped as much non-Windows software as possible running during install.

* Disabled AVG anti-virus.

* Ran the Windows Update Troubleshooter - says the database 'may' be corrupted but doesn't do anything about it.

* Deleted $WINDOWS.~BT folder.

* Deleted SoftwareDistribution folder.

* Deleted catroot2 folder.

* Deleted all other temporary files.

* System File Checker finds no problems.

* DISM restore health etc finds no issues.

* Reset Winsock.

* Started and restarted: bits, wuauserv, appidsvc and cryptsvc via a computer restart.

* Checked the latest SSU is installed (it is).

setuperr.log is attached.

setupact.log is here.

Thanks.

:)

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.
