Cannot Apply Windows Updates KB4499164 and KB4499178 with Error Code 80073712

We have been fixing some files and registry settings and are almost done.
Please create a backup of all important files/data before we continue. Better save then sorry.

Peter,

May I just clarify? Are you talking about User files, System files or both?

If it's User files or Both, then this may take a while as my one drive is almost entirely sample data for music composition (I have two 1/2TB drives installed).

Thanks.

Backup only personal files, like photo's, documents etc. No need to backup system files.

SteveECrane · Apr 30, 2020

OK. I'll do that overnight.
Again, thank you.

PeterJ · Apr 30, 2020

No problem.

OK, that backup did not complete satisfactorily - I'm going to attempt it again later this afternoon / early evening.
Sorry for the delay, Peter.

PeterJ · May 1, 2020

No problem, take your time.
