Answer 1

Some entries on the web for this issue mention that if you have Malwarebytes installed, it can interfer with (some) Windows Updates. The recommendation I read was to uninstall Malwarebytes, and once you're past the "Something didn't go as planned" problem, you can install Malwarebytes again. I found that I didn't need to uninstall Malwarebytes - I just needed to temporarily turn off the Web, Malware, Ransomware and Exploit protection of the product, then restore the protection after the Windows Update successfully completed.

Answer 2

Thank you for spelling this out. Very helpful, this was my solution as well.

I'll add that in order to find out which is the correct disk/partition, go to Disk Management to look for the appropriate disks/partitions. For example; My C disk has my OS and it was Disk 0, and the 100MB partition was Partition 1.

Thanks again, this problem was annoying the heck out of me!

I also got this error everytime at 97% and than it rolled back ,

in my case it had to do with the partion types, (i had cloned my disk to m2 ) , checked my cbs.log and found this error:
000005ba bfsvc: 'failed to get system partition!

had to set the system type on the system partition
diskpart

select disk *nr of your system disk*
select partition *nr of the sysem partion*

SET ID=c12a7328-f81f-11d2-ba4b-00a0c93ec93b

DISKPART> list partition

Partition ### Type Size Offset

---

Partition 1 Recovery 529 MB 1024 KB

Partition 2 System 100 MB 530 MB

after that the updates were getting installed

This actually solved it for me..

If anyone is reading this, I would recommend going by this solution first
