Windows 10 fails upgrade from 1909 (18363.1533) to 20H2

Question

Hi there,

Can anyone advise me how to resolve the upgrade failure? I have tried Windows Update and Windows 10 Update Assistance, no luck with both.

I find error message as shown as below:

In addition, I try to read log file from c:\windows\panther\newos\panther\setuperr.log

I am not able to follow the log details and stuck here. Appreciated if you could guide me to solve the issue.

Answer 1

I finally fix the problem.

Since I am using a small size of SSD as C: (250GB) for Windows 10, all user file directories were set in register pointing to D: (2T HDD).

1. Modify register pointing to C: in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
2. Create a temporary user with admin level
3. Restart PC
4. Login in temporary user
5. Run Window 10 Update Assistance
6. Version 21H1 is installed successfully (after several restarts automatically)
7. Login in temporary user
8. Modify register pointing back to D: in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
9. Restart PC
10. Login any old existed user
11. Delete the temporary user

@Alun Parsons

Hi,

You could double click on ProfilesDirectory and edit Value Data. Change D:\Users to C:\Users

Cheers,

Hi,

I get spare time to try again during weekend.

• Updated BIOS to latest version
• Unplugged all unnecessary USB devices, only mouse and keyboard remained
• Uninstalled 3rd party antivirus program
• Login from safe mode and deleted folders
• C:\$WINDOWS.~BT
• C:\$Windows.~WS
• C:\Windows.old
• C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution
• C:\Windoes\SoftwareDistribution.old
• C:\Windows10Upgrade
• D:\Windows10Upgrade
• Run the command
• SFC /Scannow
• DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
• Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter
• Disabled all Startups and non-Microsoft services

Tried again the upgrade from Microsoft Support Service by "Create Windows 10 installation media"

• Installed MediaCreationTool21H1.exe
• Launched the tool
• Install the update

Unfortunately, "Undoing the changes" was shown after few automatic restarts. Bootup back to orginial Windows 10 (1909) and show this error message (0x8007001F - 0x3000D)

@Ernest Ho
Hi,
Have you updated the driver? It looks like it should be a compatibility issue.
It looks like you have done a series of troubleshooting.
Backing up all your files and choosing a clean install may be the best option.

Answer 5
