Error Code 0x80070032 During Win 10 Upgrade

I am using Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant to upgrade to Version 1903 and I am getting an Error Code 0X80070032.  I am currently not using a PIN for logging into my laptop and I do not have any peripherals connected to my laptop, other than a mouse.  I have also disabled Norton Security Suite.  Additionally, I ran Update & Security Troubleshoot and "fixed" any identified problems.  No luck.  Any suggestions?

    Jennifer,

    Thank you for the suggestions.  Unfortunately, neither worked.  I had previously tried portions of your recommendations in the past and it did not work.  I tried yours step-by-step and both aborted at about the same place 58% into Installing Windows...

    ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

    rmdir C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore
