    Unable to update from 1809 to 1903 with error 0x80070003

    Hello,
    For the past week I've been failing to upgrade my Windows 10 desktop from 1809 to 1903

    The update process is always the same:
    The update downloads successfuly, I restart the computer, It shuts down (with the usual update progress bar that gets to 100%). It boots up and then at 9% the update stops and it says: "Failure configuring Windows updates. Reverting changes. Do not turn off your computer". Then it boots up normaly to 1809.

    I've tried the folllowing things:
    1. Windows 10 Update Assistant - Same error
    2. Deleting Windows Update files - Same error
    3. I ran disk checks and Windows Update troubleshooter - Same error

    I've looked at the "setuperr.log" (C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setuperr.log) file and it always shows the following error at the bottom:

    Code:
    My computer only has a C: drive, the D: drive is the optical drive. I don't have anything in it or any other storage device connected to the computer during the update.


    System information:
    • Desktop: Windows 10 Home 1809
    • CPU: Intel i5-4440
    • RAM: 8 GB DDR3
    • HDD: 1 Tb (300+ Gb free)

    installation of Windows 20H2 has failed 0x80004005

    The installation of Windows 20H2 has failed (current version 1909). After downloading from Windows Update site and ran it, it produced an error code 0x80004005 and suggested to try again. But that also failed.
    The SetupDiagResults.log file shows the following error message
    Error: SetupDiag reports abrupt down-level failure.
    Last Operation: Finalize
    Error: 0x80004005 - 0x60016
    LogEntry: 2021-03-14 08:52:54, Error SP Operation failed: Update Boot Code. Error: 0x80004005[gle=0x000000b7]
    What does it mean and how can I succeed in installing the 20H2 version?
