Feature Update 1903 fails, error code 0x80070005
I recently updated to 1903 on my main desktop PC running 1809 Pro edition with no issues.
But on another desktop and on a laptop, both running 1809 Home edition, the update failed with error code 0x80070005.
The update preps, downloads, and installs to 100%, and only then fails.
0x80070005 usually means a permissions problem, but the main (only) user account is an administrator.
I ran the Microsoft Windows Update Troubleshooter from the website, and no problems were found.
And tried to install the security program - it said it was already installed.
I had just run a bunch of 1809 updates just prior to the 1903 upgrade on both machines and they all went off without a hitch. I ran a disk cleanup afterwards and included the Windows Update Cleanup.
I also disabled antivirus during the install.
I restarted both Pcs and tried the update again with the same result.
Looking for new things to try.
