The windows 10 fall upgrade 1709 fails after about 45% mark.. Then gives an error message and returns system to 1703

I have tried all the suggestions on my laptop to complete the upgrade to fall creators 1709.  

I have tried the trouble shoot the upgrade (It always fins registry errors after the update...  I run it a couple of times and the second time the registry errors are gone but come back after trying the 1709 update)

I have tried the upgrade by doing the manual update

I have tried resetting all of update... and then trying the update again

I have tried by unplugging the Ethernet cable

I have done a chkdsk c: /f

I have tried Regcure pro (as recommended by Microsoft on a support page - they are a Microsoft partner)

I have tried going back to earlier backups of the laptop..

All end in the same way...

The updates fail after 45% with a old style popup box .. saying windows can not configure one of the system components...

I have tried many options...  but no solution...

I have spent over 80 hours working on this issue...  I really do not want to do a full reinstall of the laptop.... 

Help!!!

Hi,

Regcure Pro is not a Microsoft partner. Microsoft doesn't have partnership with third party registry cleaners.

I recommend to upgrade your pc to 1709 via media creation tool.

1. Visit https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

2. Select Download tool Now, and select Run or Open. You need to be an administrator to run this tool.
3. On the License terms page, if you accept the license terms, select Accept.
4. On the What do you want to do? page, select Upgrade this PC now, and then select Next.
5. After downloading and installing, the tool will walk you through how to set up Windows 10 on your PC.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

It is odd that they are not a Partner.. They display it on their software and they were suggested on a Microsoft support page???

Thanks for the suggestion...

I have tried the manual download as well!  (it ended up with the error)

I have not tried the Upgrade path....

I do not want to have to reinstall all my applications...

I will go ahead and try this...  It is a lengthy process...

I hope it works..

Once again the upgrade failed with the same old style error message

Windows could not configure on one or more system components.  To install Windows, restart the computer and then restart the installation.

Any other suggestions????

I got this error

0xC1900101 - 0x30018

The installation failed in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during SYSPREP operation

I verified that all devices are ok and individually asked the device manager to check for updates for every device.. and it came back each time that the driver was fine and current

any thoughts

Does anyone have a working solution to help me install this update??

Hi Andrew,

Corrupted or incomplete installation can be one of the possible reason why an update may fail. The error message 0xC1900101 - 0x30018 The installation failed in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during SYSPREP operation may possibly occur due to incompatible driver or hardware. To assist you better, we'd like to know if you've made any recent changes prior to this issue.

Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow the steps in this article to troubleshoot Windows update issues. You can choose which version of Windows your experiencing the problem.

Keep us posted if you need additional help.

The article was very nice up to the point it indicated a complete wipe of my system...

There must be a way to know which device Windows 10 fall update is having problems with and then reload that device.

I went through the procedure with no solution...  right up to the system wipe....

any other suggestions???

This is a Joke, I have this issue on one of my PCs.  "can not configure one of the system components..."

If can't fix the update why ask to update again and again and fail :)

Either fix or don't re update with same error.

Update: 1/24/2018

I don't want to upgrade/update if all is working fine. Don't want to reinstall OS or anything else for that matter.

I haven't been getting popup msgs asking to update which is good.
