I've been having this issue for a few months now, but I'm finally determined to fix it. The thing is I'm stuck at windows 10 version 10240, and everytime I try to update windows, it will restart and get to about 70ish percent when an error occurs and it undoes all changes made to my PC. I've tried multiple suggestions I've seen online such as turning off any anti-virus/malware, unplugging all external devices other than mouse + keyboard, and clearing enough space on my main SSD. All resulted the same way.

I've also tried using the windows update assistant, found here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10. And this did not work either. I then tried using the media creation tool found in the same link, and that didn't work either but at least it provided me with the following error message: "0x800707E7

• 0x3000D The installation failed in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during MIGRATE_DATA operation".

I looked this up and I found that it may have something to do with corrupted windows profiles and I found advice suggesting to delete any unused profiles through regedit. I did find data for one profile that I had deleted a while back but I guess it still had data in ProfileList, so I deleted that too hoping it would help, but I'm still getting the same problem when I try to update. Let me know if more info is needed.

Also I'm not sure if this is relevant or not, but sometime last year my main SSD got corrupted and I had to format it and reinstall windows. It has worked fine since then other than this issue.

Delete the one ending with .bak and check.

Alright, how about deleting the user profile from this address?

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

Your welcome, thank you for letting us know!

If you have no other questions feel free to mark the thread as answered and choose an appropriate rating. Have a good rest of the week.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/ProfileList

and the profile folder I deleted from there was I believe called S-1-5-21-2221823218-2232689269-2096485173-1002

I also checked the netplwiz prior to deleting the profile in regedit and there was no second profile in netplwiz, only in regedit.
