Windows 10 Pro: Unable to install updates (Error 0x80070bc9)
Hello there,
For the best part of a year I have been struggling with the exact same issue. I am unable to install these 2 pending updates. Consequently, I am unable to update further and am stuck on an old version of Windows 10 exposed to several threats.
I have already contacted Microsoft support several times and their outcome every time was to "purchase higher support". Prior to this post I have reinstalled Windows many times freshly and I am unable to solve this issue.
The only interferences I can think of is the fact I have changed the default program installation folders in the registry to a seperate drive (P:/ Drive) and my user is saved on a seperate drive (S:/ Drive).
The error I get is as follows:
• Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3176493) - Error 0x80070bc9
• Security Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3172729) - Error 0x80070bc9
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated as I am getting to the ends of what I can handle.
Many regards,
Sam
