Hi,

I've been attempting to apply the latest feature update (October 2020) for months now with no success.

The machine it's on is a fairly complex Windows install. I'm a hobbiest programmer, not someone who just loads stock Windows and browses the internet. I have all kinds of little utilities installed - most of which I've probably forgotten about but solved some particular problem, god knows where all the product keys are, and I've done numerous registry fixes over the years.

I'd almost rather shoot myself than "do a fresh install", likely spend days getting the machine to work the way I want it, and then tripping over "things that don't work any more" intermittently for months on end as I run into something I only use intermittently where I once spent hours researching ways to implement a fix.

I'm running Windows 10 Pro, version 1909, OS build 18363.1256

I've been following the instructions on this page - How to troubleshoot Feature update to Windows 10 install failures largely, but have also tried a few things on other pages that are not listed here.

In addition to the bullet points listed here I've uninstalled Net Framework 3.5, I've run CHKDSK, DISM, and SFC.

The latest attempt was done by disconnecting everything, disabling all non-MSFT services and all startup programs, running CHKDSK, DISM, and SFC (all successful), using MediaCreationTool20H2.exe to download the latest WindowsUpgrade9252.exe and running that.

Overnight run ended with (7 or so hours later) stuck at 91%.


I've also attempted doing this by downloading a Windows ISO, mounting that, and running Setup.exe from there.

Same result, stuck at 91%.

The system it is on runs apparently flawlessly in all other respects. I can find nothing wrong. Every bit of software I use works, every device connected works, Device Manager reports no errors.

I'd be fine simply skipping this update - I doubt there's anything in there I need - but I can't just exclude it from Windows Update without pausing all updates, and that pause only works for a certain period of time, after which it automatically re-enables.

Then the system "updates and restarts", takes HOURS to get to the "stuck" point, I restart the machine, the rollback itself takes some time, after which I can finally get back to work.

Here's a link to the most recent logs, after last night's final attempt to update.


Boy do I wish Windows could just tell me what's wrong so I could fix it!

I've looked at the logs myself but unfortunately I just can't see anything obvious to me.

Thanks,

Todd
