Right click on the command prompt result and select Run as Administrator. Be patient until DISM repairs component store. When the operation is completed, you should be informed that the component store corruption was repaired , give this command and press Enter :. When SFC scan is completed, restart your computer. Try to update your system again. Another method that usually works, to fix Windows 10 update problems, is to perform a Windows 10 Repair-Upgrade, by installing the update from a Windows 10 installation media.

If I run the cmd to check health, it says that the component store is repairable. Possibly the OS is corrupted. Try to repair it by using the following commands and if the repair fails again I suggest to perform a clean installation of Windows Sanket Patel November 2, am.

This is all just stupid and simple thigs are! Two laptops 2. Error is “Inaccessible boot device”. One laptop one descktop And tadam!!! Great news!!!! Frank Klevenhaus October 5, pm. Thank you so much. Step 3 and deleting old versions of update files did the trick. Thank you. Peter September 22, pm. All 4 methods above failed. What did finally work, without any clear understanding of why: 1 Disable virus protection uninstalled. Ganda September 14, pm. Thanks for the advice on solutions to this problem.

It was driving me nuts trying to update my daughter’s laptop. But a combination of Methods 1 and 2 did the trick. You certainly need patience as it took an age to download, get ready and then install.

Still, its done now and subsequent updates downloaded and installed without issue so thank you for the help. Business Sloth September 13, pm. This is where Windows stores its version update files and logs. If you’ve failed to update previously, these folders will be large and more than likely corrupt. Al October 1, pm. Dun October 6, pm. When you say steps 3, where is that mean steps 3? Al October 8, pm.

Jan September 3, pm. BUT — after cca two starts of system and 1 hour of working, there came another automatic windows update something innocent like. No way of auto repair had worked :. Finally I managed to restore from safe mode in version win version to anf get back to work. But is probably a locked door for me :. Jan September 4, pm. If you have still the problem this can be the clues..

September 2, pm. Alan September 24, am. This is finally what worked for me. I had all but given up that my Gigabyte laptop could ever be updated again. But I am currently running , build The two steps I implemented this time which I have never done before are 1. Booting to safe mode and deleting the cryto folder 2. Removing the IIS folder, the uninstalling it.

Uninstalling IIS is unfortunate, because I develop several high-end websites on this computer and now I need to setup all of that again. Thank you! I could not update from to , it always failed. Finaly I’ve got it working with first method 3 and then method 2. It took about 5 hours. Thanks again! Bob Niedbalski August 28, pm. I then did Method 3 running dism and sfc as administrator and Method 2 running the Windows Update Assistant i. Windows10Upgrade in Downloads , then everything proceeded as it should have in the first place.

Many thanks for enumerating the methods and for the tip about disabling “Secure Boot” from Joe Purvis and Snixel. Jimmy August 22, pm. Ok Folks — I tried all the recommendations in here months ago and it would still not install an I gave up — Noticed this morning wanted to install so I tried again — This time it installed with a couple of issues — Took forever to bring the Desktop back to life — Almost an hour — then I could not get the login to appear — On a hunch I unplugged my Dongle for my Keyboard and Mouse and then it starting — I am now fully up to date and I have done anything in months.

Andre S. August 18, pm. Thanks a lot. I tried all suggestions but yours is the only one that worked for me! The only thing to remember: be patient; it took 4 or 5 hours to the Assistant to do the job.

Method 1 worked. The V has now been installed successfully. Thanks a lot! PS : The process took up 5 hours to complete! Errol Foster August 15, am. Mine finished the instal but the oobe take forever you can skip all except the last one and there it crashes and restarts over and over cannot enter safe mode just looping in the oobe this is a clean instal. Raymond Dean August 25, am. Olivier August 10, pm. Hey guys! I’m having the same issue as you. Have tried 10 times now without any luck and it is driving crazy.

Joe Purvis, Snixel…. Any advice would be appreciated. Brad July 29, pm. So after trying all these methods and comment suggestions, I found my problem and solution. The problem was that I have moved my Users folder to another hard drive including the registry key. Instead of moving everything back or starting from fresh, which is what some sites recommended, I changed the registry back to default. I then created a local administrator account.

I then changed my registry back to how I had it before. Syed August 15, am. Bryan A July 28, pm. My problem was after the installation, when i restart my pc would say “insert boot disk”.

I couldnt get into windows and it would say Smart has failed on my harddrives. Then after that every restart and i would try to go to BIOS and sure enough sometimes my main ssd is there, sometimes not. What worked was removing all the other harddrives i had 3 total. 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. Eventually I was forced to turn it back on for some reason and whatever magic they did in the intervening months payed off as that failed update just sailed through with no problems. The next big update failed several times until, on a whim, I tried running it with the external monitor disconnected, which worked surprisingly.

Snixel June 28, pm. Retried upgrade. Failed again. I completely uninstalled all my Antivirus software replaced by Windows defender default as suggested by Microsoft for error code 0xC — 0x is either AV software or 3rd party driver related and still upgrade fails with the very same error.

Between all three tries I kept the setuperr and setupact logs and in all logs I find the same entry around the same time the laptop is stuck on boot logo:. This error is related to a language profile.

Do any of you guys see this same log entry in setuperr. Snixel June 18, pm. I have exactly the same problem error code 0xC — 0x, stuck at boot logo and tried both in place upgrade, update through windows Update and Media creation Tool.

Please keep me posted if you get any progress on this issue, since the similarity of our laptops we probably need the same fix. I’ll do the same! Joe Purvis June 19, pm. As I indicated, I left a message for Support at Gigabyte mfr of my laptop. I also called Microsoft support. Tech downloaded a new ISO and cleaned up some files. Install ran and hung at same point. I called next day and gave case number. Was passed to a next level support technician, who listened carefully and copied lots of logs from my machine.

He indicated he would review them with engineers and get back to me in next couple of days. Clearly, he was taking my problem seriously, so I am hopeful that a solution will be found. Will keep you informed. I did, however, get a trojan while antimalware was off — but I killed it. Snixel June 21, pm. I let my system sit on the boot logo for half an hour this time and I can now see in the setuperr.

The next error codes are 30min later when I manually press the shutdown button to let it reboot and rollback the update, so I guess these are related to the problem. I have and it uses a TAP driver, I was thinking maybe that causes the issue, but if you don’t I can rule that one out aswell. I was thinking maybe it could be related to the Realtek card reader in my system which is connected to the chipset through USB since Microsoft states there could be problems upgrading to with USB card readers.

Problem is I cannot disable it in BIOS there is no option to do that and I already tried uninstalling the drivers and disabling it in device manager without any luck. Joe Purvis June 22, pm. I tried disabling the Realtek card in device manager, and it didn’t help. I have a call again with Msoft tech Monday — will let you know what I find out. Snixel June 25, pm. Replaced with Microsoft ones and retried the upgrade. Same error. Minnesota Bob June 15, am. I had many problems. Report abuse. Details required :.
