Still unable to update to 1903

MSI Laptop I7 processor +NVIDIA Graphics ... still unable to update
from 1809 (17763.615) to 1903. Install runs to 72% and then just fails
with the inclusive result 80070003. I've tried Dism and SFC, both run
OK. Any suggestions welcome.

If that was my machine, I'd be looking in the BIOS
to see if I could switch down to Intel-only graphics
(of your Optimus Intel/Nvidia setup) until the install
was finished. Then try switching NVidia on again.

I hope you have a backup.

The install phases are documented here, but without
percentage ranges printed on the page to aid in
identifying it really is the driver phase that is
failing.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...upgrade-errors

You can see a "sub" error code there, identifies the phase.

0x2000c, 0x20017 === Apply Drivers is in this phase.
0x30018, 0x3000D
0x4000D, 0x40017

Maybe it really isn't drivers then, as 72% is too far along.

Presumably the first phase doesn't need those codes,
because the OS never gets to reboot in that phase.
Rollback could happen before any reboot.

Just out of curiosity, are you one of those people
who move Program Files to D:\Program Files or moved
C:\users\oldster to D:\users\oldster ? As sometimes
moving portions of the install, the installer cannot
handle the variations (it doesn't check for that in
a useful way).

In this thread, they mention that Easeus Partition Manager
can screw up some IDs on disk partitions, and that causes
a 80070003 "because something cannot mount".

I wish I could be sure about these error numbers.

People have used IT Technicians to get this done swiftly so perhaps you
could try it. They only charge 50 bucks for their work (in your case
£50.00 in new money when we get pound, shilling and pence after
Brexit). Life is unbearable without 1903 so the money is worth spent IMO.

I had endless problems with the update on three different machines. I
tried all the suggestions I could find, especially focused on problems
caused by drivers, video in particular. Nothing made a difference.
What finally DID, was to kill off the antivirus software for the
duration. Be careful - simply disabling it before you start doesn't
do it because the installation process restarts the machine and the
AV stuff may wake up again when that happens. (That happened to me.)
Good luck.

OK, I found something I think you'll find amusing.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...rade/setupdiag

"About SetupDiag

Current version of SetupDiag: 1.5.0.0

https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=870142 507,056 bytes

SetupDiag is a standalone diagnostic tool that can be used
to obtain details about why a Windows 10 upgrade was unsuccessful.

Double-click the "SetupDiag" file to run it

When SetupDiag finishes, two files will be created
in the same folder where you double-clicked SetupDiag.

One is a configuration file, the other is a log file.

Use Notepad to open the log file: SetupDiagResults.log.
"

The 80070003 is "file not found" and who knows, maybe they'll
be able to tell us which file ???

I had to search Google with "80070003 file not found", to
get confirmation that just maybe, that's what the error means.

No. I haven't moved any of those folders.

Only MS Virus stuff on the machine.
