Version 1903 update stuck on download

You can follow the steps here below to address the concern —. Once the ISO image is downloaded, double click on it to mount the image. The source here is indicated as F:sourcesinstall. Replace it with the exact location of your source file that you have mounted your ISO file on.

Well, those outlined above are a few select options that should be helpful enough in providing you access to a few fixes to take care of the Windows 10 version update. While the issue may be resolved by following the above methods and fixes, a few minor teaks here should help you determine if in case if the problem is not much severe. Do note that the stuck download may not be an issue at all.

Leaving the update for a while may resolve the issue on its own. Check if leaving the update to complete on its own may take thee update forward and help you download the update without any problems. It may be worthwhile to notice that a faster and reliable internet connection can be a great choice. A minimum disk space is yet another option that should need to check out. A minimum of 32 GB disk space would be a must to ensure the trouble-free update. In some cases, the third-party antivirus may have been restricting the update from downloading and installing.

Check if you can disable the anti-virus service. In fact, it cannot be disabled. You can even uninstall it and can opt to install it once again after you have installed the Windows update successfully. After it was able to go inside Windows, I was able to reconnect the other harddrives and no more boot errors. Worked after deleting SoftwareUpdate directory..

I also had previously set time zone to automatic on a prior attempt. Took 4 attempts but worked. Toshiba Satellite 5 or 6 years old. Nice article…thanks. Alex July 20, pm. Hi Kerry, I too have Toshiba satellite 5 years old. Only tried twice so far. Disconnecting usb devices after the first time didn't work. Have a few questions: 1. I got my error twice at the installation time, i.

Was it the same with you? At what point and to do what did you go to the safe mode? Did you reset time zone from automatic to yours before downloading or before reestart? Henk Buis July 17, pm. This happened for the first 3 methods. The logfile showed always error 0xc and uninstalling the antivirus and the mouse receiver did not help. This did it, the Update then proceeds without any problems.

Tony Smith August 11, am. I had to run the troubleshoot option for updates. When I turned it back on it reverted back to version So I repeated it all but this time unplugged all my external HDD, mouse, keyboard, scanner, etc. My guess was it was my logitech mouse or keyboard causing some sort of hardware error.

If that didn't work I was afraid I'd have to go into Safe mode and to MS Dos prompt and delete the stacks which is a bit much. Ken Hawkins July 12, pm. I have found that a clean install of W10 on an empty GPT disk sets up a hidden recovery partition as the first partition on the disk.

The existence of this partition has resulted in a failure of the update on 6 HP ProBooks every time. I assume this is because the recovery partition is where WinUpdate expects to find the WinReservedPartition. My solution is to do a System Clone to a spare disk I use EaseUS Todo Backup , which does not copy the Recovery Partition, then swap the disks over and do another System Clone back to the original disk before swapping the disks back again.

The Update then proceeds without any problems. CZ July 17, pm. Can You, please, describe better Your solution? Why not simply delete or reformat first partition? Or just exchange 1 Recovery and 2 EFI partitions? Dru July 31, am. Snixel July 9, pm. Joe Purvis and all other seeing error 0xcx "Failed in first boot with error during boot operation.

After spending days trying to find the issue, I finally found the root cause. When you enable it again afterward it boots one time successfully, second time it will fail again. So you will have to keep it turned off in order to use Windows Dunno if this is a manufacturer BIOS issue or a Microsoft issue, but until then you can install and enjoy the latest windows version by keeping it disabled.

Dusan August 23, pm. The same is happening now to me with update. Can you tell me whether I still have to stay unprotected Secure boot: disabled or there is already a solution what to do after successfull installation of that blody May update.

I don't have a solution yet. Even with the latest servicing stack updates from Microsoft the issue remains. I filed the ticket with Microsoft months ago, they said they would look into it.

According to them a new installation of would work with secure boot enabled. I'm not going to try my luck and format it in the hope that a clean install would work with secure boot enabled. So my best bet is to wait for 19H2 to come out and try to upgrade to it with secure boot enabled again.

Hopefully this update will succeed and we can keep secure boot enabled again at all times. In step 2 above where you refer to KB you refer to v I assume this is a typo and you meant v, correct? My v upgrade failed with 0xc Where can I find if any other messages or codes were issued regarding the failure? Thanks, Dan. Restart your PC and then run again the update assistant.

Snixel June 29, am. So it must be driver related, but already tried uninstalling all my drivers with exception of the VPN TAP driver and my Logitech wireless mouse. Any of you guys use a Logitech mouse by any chance? I already tried disconnecting it during the upgrade but haven't tried completely uninstalling the driver yet. Partha Bagchi June 26, pm. Any solutions yet anyone?

Looks like the Gigabyte computers are the issue? I have a P37v5 nd no joy. It hangs at first boot with the Gigabyte screen. After restoration, I get failure with error code "0xffff". Joe Purvis June 27, pm. No answers so far — I have a call with Microsoft Support later today, will post thereafter. Gigabyte was not much help. First, they suggested "updating" drivers to the versions in Smartupdate which were clearly old versions. When I pointed that out, they suggested that perhaps I should consider a clean install — not on my agenda.

I have a lot of software on my machine that I use every day. I would much prefer to stay with , which has been very stable until they figure out a fix. Joe Purvis June 28, am. Another try with suggested changes from MS Support failed. The tech uploaded lots of logs and we will have another call in a few days I will be out of town.

In the meantime, back to I appreciate that they are taking my problem seriously and are looking for a solution.. Anthony Costantini July 2, pm. I have a similar issue, but with ASUS components. I don't think Gigabyte is your issue. Same error code for me as well. If you learn anything, please reply here. Joe Purvis July 10, pm. As posted by Snixel above not sure what happened to my reply , turning off secure boot in the Bios allows the installation to complete. Matthew T July 20, pm.

This fixed it for me. Alan June 25, pm. I have a Gigabyte P25 not P25X which is a little different My update is also failing with 0xc error. This machine almost always has a problem with the larger Windows 10 updates. Last year around march I had to permanently disable windows update or every morning I would come in to a hung screen and lost any unsaved work from the night before.

Resetting them can be helpful to fix the issue. Open Command Prompt with admin rights. So, you can run the system file checker tools to have a check. If this fails to find any issues, run DISM. Old or corrupted device drivers can also lead to Windows 10 version not installing.
