Hello,

I'm having a issue with my Windows update, when I try to update my PC via Windows update it gives me error 0x80246008, I tried many steps including checking hard drive, adding registry keys, clearing Software Distribution folder etc. When I tried to update my PC via iso file with 1909 it gave message that I had insufficient disk space to update even though there is over 120GB of space left on HD, also iso update shows error 0x80070780. When I tried SFCFix it shows me that something unexpected had happened and it couldn't continue.

Here are my Panther logs:

Appreciate any help

Hi!

Is your connection set to metered?

  1. Click the Windows logo (Start button).
  2. Click the gear icon (Settings).
  3. Select Network & Internet.
  4. On the left pane, choose Wi-Fi.
  5. Click Manage known networks.
  6. Select your Wi-Fi network, and then click Properties.
  7. Under Metered connection, click the slider to set the metered connection to Off.

Also do the following:

Step#1 - FRST Scan

1. Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
Note: You need to run the 64-bit Version so please ensure you download that one.
2. Right-click FRST64.exe and click Run as Administrator to run it as administrator. When the tool opens, click Yes to disclaimer.
3. Please ensure you place a check mark in the Addition.txt check box at the bottom of the form before running (if not already checked).
4. Press Scan button.
5. It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from (which should now be the desktop)
6. Please attach the log back here.
7. Another log (Addition.txt - also located in the same directory as FRST64.exe) will be generated Please also attach that along with the FRST.txt in your reply.
 
My connection is via Ethernet cable but it still uses telephone connection, that's why it is so bad unfortunately.
Still it is not metered as I checked registry values to see if it shows as it is
I want to add that I managed to run SFCFix properly and there were no issues.

I'm sorry that files are in different language but I hope that won't be a problem.
If it is I can translate needed parts.

Done everything form the list, unfortunately no result.
However my setuperr log is smaller than earlier but I think that is because I chose not to download any additional updates from installer.

Hi!

Win10 upgrade - BCD error

You will need a bootable Windows disc or recovery flash drive to boot from to do this.
How to create a recovery flash drive: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...recovery-drive

After you create the recovery drive, boot from it by using the advanced startup options and choosing boot from device (or using the UEFI interface, whichever is simpler :) ).
Here's the instructions that other users have had success with:



Alright, apparently the issue is with the BCD (Boot Configuration Data). A few users reported that rebuilding it solved that issue.

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...4-9ae12cfd89a2 - "Most Helpful Reply" from Cifad

If you cannot read the commands properly, here goes (to be entered in the command prompt from the Recovery Environment):

diskpart - Opens the Disk Partitionning tool
select disk 0 - Will select your first hard drive (the one with the Windows partition on it)
list volume - Note the number of the partition that have no drive letter assigned to it, is of 260MB of size and have "FAT32" listed under the "FS" column
select volume X - X will be the number of your partition with a size of 260MB, the EFI System Partition one that you identified in the last command
assign letter=Z: - It'll assign the Z: letter to the EFI System Partition
exit - To exit the diskpart utility

Now you'll be back in the command prompt, enter the following commands:

cd /d Z:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot - Goes to the "Boot" directory in the Z: partition
attrib Z:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD -h -r -s - Removes the hidden, read-only and system attributes from the BCD folder
ren Z:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD BCD.old - Renamed the BCD folder to BCD.old
bootrec /rebuildbcd - This command will rebuild the BCD.

When it asks you Add the installation to boot list?, press on y followed by Enter and if it succeed, you'll have a The operation completed successfully message. Once you're done, close the command prompt, restart your computer and try to upgrade again.



Make sure you have a complete backup of anything important on your computer BEFORE attempting any of these steps.
 
Well, I need to buy external HD so it is going to take a while, once I got it and backup necessary things I will try to do that.
Thank you for your help, I will inform you when everything is done.
 
I tried to do as it was said, however all partitions were NTFS, so I didn't really knew what to do.

Reinstalling Windows through settings app didn't work, the weird thing is that both formatting, and keeping files options had issues.
One last time I tried to reinstall Windows through iso file one more time, chose C: drive to be destination drive.
It worked, but it is not perfect solution as I lost all installed apps (good thing that I have backups).
Good thing is that my personal files were to be found in windows.old.000 folder, I don't really know if all of them are there but it is always better than nothing.

Now my PC is running 1909 without issues, hopefully there will be none in the future.

Thank you very much for your help, really appreciate it.
