    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?

    Solution for Failed Windows 10 Update Installation Error 0x80004005


    1. The setuperr.log installation error logging file contains error 0x80004005 towards the end of the file and there is an error message referring to "Failed to backup BCD database".
    Solution
    The successful solution I implemented is shown below.


    I've tried for months to get the Anniversary Update to work after the dreaded 0x80004005 error without success. I did start to suspect the UEFI as root cause and searching for the error and UEFI came back with this note. And it worked first time!
    At last. Thanks so much - and indeed: if Microsoft would have given a more informative message, it would have saved you (and me) a lot of time! Thanks again.
