Windows 10: Windows Update 1903 error 0x80070003

I have been trying to update my windows 10 but everytime I try I get the error.

I have tried the troubleshoot and it says errors are fixed but doesn solve anything.

I tried downloading the assistant, the computer restarts but nothing happens.

Tried the sfc/ scannow

Tried the Media creaton tool

I tried the dism method and I get initialization error.

Tried Resetting Windows update components and renaming the folders.

Dont know what else to do.

Error 0x80070003

Hi Nilton,

I suggest you to follow the steps given in the link below and check if it helps you. Select Windows 8.1 from the Product list.

Windows Update error "0x80070002" or "0x80070003"

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/910336

Let us know the status of the issue.

 

Update failed (0x80070003) from 1809 to 1903

Have you tried downloading an iso file, logging in, doing a clean boot, mounting the iso file, running setup.exe and NOT accepting updates as part of the procedure?

- make sure you have at least 30Gb free and no security software running. (Defender is ok- and Avast seems not to cause problems).

Device Manager is not relevant here.

The problem arises if there's something the upgrade procedure is not compatible with in some way.

Suggest you may have something installed or some hardware that Windows can't cope with in some way.
Please post specs of your PC and Windows upgrade logs.

I successfuly upgraded to 1903!

I looked in SetupAct.log and saw that Windows was copying files from the User folder. It failed copying Application Data\Microsoft\Forms and that caused error 0x80070003. I already knew that from the "setuperr.log". I moved the Application Data and its content to the desktop and tried to upgrade.

It worked!

I still don't know why Windows failed to copy that specific folder (which is empty and seems to be related to Outlook).
