I've never thought of Windows 10 as being any better at "idiot-proofing", but now that you mention it...I still don't see it, sorry. I deal with people who are either so afraid of breaking anything they won't touch anything, OR people at the end of the other spectrum who know enough to be too dangerous for their own good.

I know what you mean: my car has LED direction signals on the door mirrors - where they are most easily broken - and when they are, the whole LED assembly needs to be swapped. Fortunately, it's not the whole mirror assembly...
And it's not just windows: back to cars, and mechanics don't fix things either; they just swap components. Where I would change a faulty bearing, now it's a whole aluminium casting, three pulleys with integral bearings, and a tensioner that needs replacement.
A lot of both software and cars is that it's all a lot more complicated theses days - we all know that making it simpler for the user means a sh*t load more complexity "under the hood" for the designers to deal with. And in the case of software, I'm not convinced that people working on Windows have any idea what they are doing - it feels like Windows is being created in QA and on SO?

You do know what error 0x80070002 is?
It is the Windows error code 2 (ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND, "The system cannot find the file specified") mapped to a HRESULT.

My desktop and the WookieTab are both on 1803 (OS Build 17134.112) and updated without any problems - indeed on the WookieTab is was actually better than the previous version (the soft keyboard actually works instead of spending all it's time annoying me).
And I've yet to see a single BSOD since the update.
Could be that I have nice, "standard" hardware - if there is such a thing - but I doubt it, particularly with the WookieTab which being Chinese could be partially made of egg noodles for all I know ...

Another "no-help" reply, I'm afraid: no problems here upgrading three different PCs.
Have you tried using the Media Creation Tool[^]? With previous updates, it's sometimes done the trick for me when Windows Update kept failing.

Hi,
I would recommend opening PowerShell and using: Get-WindowsUpdateLog [^]
That should help you find the source of the 0x80070002 HRESULT error.
Best Wishes,

Since Microsoft makes it rather non-obvious how to find out what version of Windows I'm running (doing the obvious, "This PC -> Properties" doesn't tell me) I have no clue what version I'm running.
I know y'all have told me how to find out, but since it's non-intuitive and I didn't write it down, I don't remember!

WINKEY+R, "winver", ENTER.
And the stupid dialog that pops up won't let you copy the text ...

Even shorter - WINKEY, "winver", ENTER.

winkey? as in half of a purple teletubbie?
or perhaps you missed the undersized spacebar?

I just checked, and 1803 is the build I'm showing. (installed 5/24) I should also mention that this workstation had some minor issues that made me revert to a previous restore point...which created major issues, leading to the migration to a newer workstation I had 'waiting in the wings'. Today though, I'm working on the old system (waiting on a sound card for the new system) and it seems almost normal...almost everything works even though many of the programs don't show up in 'programs and features'. I can't say I've seen anything with this update that seems noteworthy other than it seems to break stuff...but not everywhere...my other two Win10 systems have no negative side effects.

I am going through a similar issue, but for me the error code is
0xc1900104 .
Reading through various boards gleaned very little, but on one there was mention of making sure you have the latest NVidia graphics drivers installed, so I am trying that right now.
Will try that Powershell script if it fails again.
UPDATE:
Most peculiar. After updating the NVidia driver, I was able to perform the full update. Had to do a couple of restarts manually. After that.... it reports that the update failed. And of course it started downloading the update yet again...

Yes that update really sucks. It requires a ton of space. Have not bothered with it since it will not install because of space, and my SSD does not have enough to spare unless I uninstall almost everything. May get around to doing it, or replacing the SSD.

I've found it virtually impossible to update to that version.
Probably because I don't have a WIN10 machine.*

What causes this is a corrupted registry key in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive. Unfortunately even if you get past this on the current upgrade you'll have the same issue on the next one. Your best option is to do a clean install from a bootable DVD or USB drive.
