I tried to update my windows, hasn't worked. It always gives me the same error code and I've tried the majority of solutions I could find online. My internet works fine and this is the only thing giving me any internet-related issue. I don't know what to do anymore other than just reinstalling windows as a whole. I'm stuck on windows 10.

    Hello John,

    I'm on windows 10 home, version 21H1. I tried all three of those solutions and none of them worked. After doing the In-place upgrade twice it just returned "Failed to install Windows 10." The Background intelligence Transfer Service was off originally but even after turning it on I received the same error.
