Windows 10 can't complete update

Question

I can't get my Razer Blade 15 2021 edition to update windows. I've tried normal updates, using the Windows 10 upgrade .exe, the media creation tool, following all the troubleshooting guides and I keep getting error 0x80070003.

Answer 1

My solution was to reformat my SSD and do a fresh install from a bootable thumb drive.

Answer 2

Good Day Razer_blade_user,

I appreciate your time getting back to this thread, if issue persists after the repair install, you may consider to perform clean installation, save all your important files in a external drive and proceed with clean install.

Answer 3

Carlo,

I have already attempted all these. The troubleshooter gets hung and never completes and the repair upgrade can't complete and exits with code 0x80070003.

At this point I'm tempted to back up my files and factory reset the computer.
