Hello,
I'm unable to update from Windows 10 Pro 1607 to 1903 - the auto update feature has been failing for months now. It usually fails and returns the message "Something went wrong - error code 0x8007007e"
I have of course tried to fix the problem myself, but unfortunately nothing I've tried has worked. The error code that I'm returned is apparently not uncommon, and I've tried to follow various suggested fixes over the past few months, but to no avail.
Steps I've tried before running Windows update:
- Disabling anti-virus
- Running SFC /scannow
Verification 100% complete.
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some
of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log.
- Performing a "clean boot" through msconfig
- Control Panel -> System and Security -> Fix Problems with Windows Update - Ran the trouble shooter and fixed problems (Windows Update still failed after the troubleshooter fixed all problems successfully)
- Downloaded and ran the Windows Update troubleshooter (Windows update still failed)
- Downloaded and ran the Reset Windows Update wureset_x64 (Windows update still failed)
- Tried to upgrade to Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7 (update failed)
- Downloaded and ran the Microsoft .NET Framework Reapair Tool (still failed in updates)
- Deleted the folder "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" and ran Windows Update again (it still failed)
-I've tried to download specific update stacks
KB4520724
2019-11 Servicing Stack Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB4520724)
windows10.0-kb4520724-x64_97604f0b532d6da814b4120fc43b2d9f6fd0b356.msu
I end up getting "This update is not applicable to your computer"
==============
I think that covers most of what I've tried - KB4049411 and KB4033631 keep installing repeatedly successfully then 1903 Fails. I really don't wanna have to wipe everything clean and reset my PC to its factory settings.
Despite being far from an expert, I've managed to sort out every PC issue I've ever had - this windows update problem has me totally stumped though. Nothing has been successful. I'm not IT savvy enough to be able to pinpoint what's causing update to fail.
I've attached my zipped CBS logs - if anyone could help me get round this problem. PLEASE!!!
