Ryantw said:

Hello, I have been following this thread and am unable to upgrade my laptop to 1511, I am on build 10240. I have followed all the steps in this thread and many other threads with no result. I will update windows defender stuff but will not upgrade to build 1511 or the latest cumulative update. sfc is clean, dism is clean. I have tried to update from an Iso from techbench and get and error right away. i have attached the windows update error logs. thanks for any insight

Hi.
Do you have enough free space on your drive?
Have you run CHKDSK?
Open an admin command prompt and type

Code:

reagentc /info

Post a screen shot of that box.

In your log:

Code:

Have you tried with secure boot off in your BIOS?
A screenshot of your disk layout might be helpful as well.
Did you upgrade from W7 or W8?
Please fill in your system specs completely, as that will help us.

Thanks for the help. This laptop came with windows 10 home on it and I am trying to complete the updates on it. I have attached the requested things plus others that may help. I ran chkdsk with no errors. Secureboot is disabled. I attempted to update from newest iso for build 1511 and get an error shown in the error setup attachment. I have also cleared out the windows update stuff with a batch file named "Reset_Reregister_Windows_Update_Components" from there I have started the update process over clean along with the windowsupdate trouble shooter with the same thing. The system reboots, installs the updates till 99% then says it cant finish and reverts the changes.

Your recovery is disabled - that's the last thing WU does. If it can't set the goback, it fails. Try this in an admin command prompt:

Code:

reagentc /enable

then see if that worked with

Code:

reagentc /info

EDIT: Have you ever used a 3rd-party partition manager on this system, like EASEUS?

I have not used any third party software.

I am not sure, but maybe your system partition is corrupt or too small? I am not very good at partition structures. Maybe someone else can troubleshoot that for you.

Hey TC - any ideas for Ryantc and his partition structure? :)

I was just looking at the SFCDETAILS post. Does he still have all those errors? Bluetooth and USB errors and a bunch of stuff. Can't see anywhere what version he is on. Might want to do a WINVER. Also, can't find a posted shot of Disk Management, full screen. Can't see the partitions. His message back from reagentc may indicate reagentc cannot find the path to WinRE, the recovery partition.

Open a admin cmd prompt, and copy/paste

bcdedit >bcddata.txt

press enter

the txt file will be in the same directory (folder) as where the cmd prompt was started.

Post that data.

I asked essenbe to move his stuff to a new thread to keep things from getting too messy.
