Problems trying to updates Windows 10 Pro. Error code = 0x80070714

Hi,

My machine is Windows 10 Pro, 64bit. Fully licensed.
I've checked for updates and I keep getting the error:

Feature update to Windows 10, version 1809 - Error 0x80070714

It verifies, downloads, installs, but fails towards the end. I rebooted my system and retried with no luck.
I also ran sfc /scannow. Verification came back successful. I ran troubleshooter for Windows Update, and it came back with 2 errors. One being a corrupted DB. I ran the fix, the first time it failed. I tried it again and it was successful. I tried to update once more but it failed near the end again.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Hi,

Thanks. There is enough space. I have just done the exact same update on my other Windows PC (Identical OS) that I use as a bit of a server, and it worked perfectly fine. I run the same AV on both systems, both up to date. So one would assume there isn't a complication there.

I will attempt a manual update and see how that goes. The error code itself does not provide much feedback with a search around.

Hi,

Thanks! Disabling the 3 SQL entries I had, rebooting, then attempting again seem to have worked. Update installed successfully. I re-enabled the services and rebooted again and everything is fine.

Thanks,

Make that 13! I've been having this problem for MONTHS! I literally tried every other solution out there. There were a couple that started with using "Password Troubleshooter" and end with editing the registry, renaming system directories, and re-registering DLLs. For the last one, they said something like "if the above didn't work, this WILL work" or "Back it up and do a full wipe, fresh install." None of the worked. It would ALWAYS die at about 80% during the installation phase. Every time. I then tried this fix without doing anything else, and worked like a charm! I went from 1909 to 20H2. Thank You!
