Windows 10 - feature update 20H2 failed to install
Hullo,
I have a Dell XPS fifteen (7590) with Windows 10 Home and I've tried to install Feature Update 20H2, but it keeps failing.
This is my update history, the most frequent code I got is 0x800700a1.
I tried using Windows Update Assistant, equally I read others solved the problem this way, but for me it didn't piece of work.
What else should I try?

I too have that issue, tried the Media creation tool without success too
1) I have Bitdefender Antivirus Plus
two) I am behind a hardware firewall, simply too accept the Windows Defender Firewall on just in case
3) I practise non utilize drive encryption
I ran the diag tool and the setupact.log is 100MB (5 compressed). All errors point to drivers, only as far every bit I can see al all working properly.
Is there a mode I can share the logs (not every bit attachments apparently) , so you lot guys can point me in the right direction, because information technology has been almost a yr now

Media Creation Tool is the most reliable method to update to Windows ten 20H2.Select Upgrade this PC now. The procedure is automated, and Windows should automatically upgrade your system. After some time and few restarts, the device would accept Windows 10 20H2 update.
This doesnt work, i tried it multiple times.

Hi there，
As far as I inquiry, this code 0x800700a1 represents commuter problem.
The windows mistake code 0x800700A1 is by and large generated due to errors reported by the driver itself meaning that this error is a software problem or compatibility problems betwixt the hardware installed and the organisation being used. And information technology is very common and it is occurs when the operating organisation and the drivers installed are not companionable with each other.
You may go to Device Managing director and update the device driver earlier performing below two methods.

I am in same (general) state of affairs here. I've tried all the tricks from above, youtube etc (internet stop/start... media creation tool etc). Every fourth dimension this update forces me to let it endeavor to install it fails (i.east. "rolls back the install" after 30+ minutes of attempting the install) and in a few weeks it forces me to let it (fail) to install once more. I'one thousand too exhausted w/this to bother trying to find the fault or log details now ... I'd go back to Windows seven if I could. Apparently this whole thing is going to repeat this weekend as my Windows is once again saying "you're at end of service, install/restart required!" bulletin. SMH.
This is seriously annoying!! Will someone at Microsoft please fix this. Clearly information technology's an issue for many people!
If anyone finds a working solution please share. Thanks in advance.
I am in EXACTLY the aforementioned situation every bit you, to be perfectly honest I am very near the cease of my patience and Linux is calling... means updating my 4 laptops and ane desktop but the hurting might well be worth it because this is simply ridiculous!

So, I try to update my computer 3-4 times a day, for the terminal 3 months, and this happens too every time I try to update. Very frustrating, wish it worked. Tired of waiting xv-20m every fourth dimension I plough my calculator on/off to fail an update.
Tried deleting softwaredistribution folder, etc. Is the work around to flash a thumbdrive with a later version of Windows and run an upgrade?
For me, it takes about thirty-35 days of failed installs until I can become Terminal month's update packet installed. And so, I remain always a calendar month behind.
--------- Update 11/ane/2021: ---------
As I feared (figured) my figurer'southward latest endeavor to install this 20H2 thing FAILED AGAIN terminal night. This fourth dimension the two new steps I tried beforehand were:
-
Totally disabling my Avast A/V (permanently)
-
Deleting the $WINDOWS.~BT folder a few days ago (reference)
... Yet sadly as I booted upwards for piece of work today I got the usual message in my organization tray indicating that this Windows update had failed ... again:
Your device is at gamble of being out of date. It will need to restart to install updates. Select a time to restart.
I ran the setupdiag.exe thing just now and the master LOG file said (at top):
SetupDiag was unable to friction match to any known failure signatures.
And parsing through the other logs.zip files all I could see that looks iffy is two OEM.inf files that say they have a having a "BlockMigration=Truthful" outcome. The two INFs were:
-
XPS Document Writer v4
-
Microsoft Print to PDF
I've uninstalled these features of Windows and will try AGAIN tonight (not that I have time for this). SMH.
--------- Update: xi/two/21 (Following Day) ---------
Well it looks like my fussing w/the above drivers/items was the (concluding?) blocker for me because this morn it appears the 20H2 update FINALLY installed successfully concluding night. Holy cow what a PITA that was - over the past few months this update probably failed at to the lowest degree six times - just insane. Anyhow in case my experience helps someone else here's what I did for my situation:
-
Followed the various net stop/start command line steps mentioned in many web articles and above in this thread - but I'1000 unsure if this did anything because the update failed multiple times after this.
-
Downloaded and ran the "media creation tool" mentioned earlier in this thread. This one felt similar huge waste material of time equally it didn't piece of work and the update notwithstanding failed.
-
Totally disabled my AntiVirus/Security software night earlier (non uninstall just disabled everything)
-
Deleted the $WINDOWS.~BT folder a few days ago (reference)
-
Ran the setupdiag.exe mentioned in this thread. This generated a logs.zip and couple other files. In 1 of the XML files in the logs.cypher I saw a couple items that said "BlockMigration=True". These mentioned ii oem.inf files. I and so went to C:\Windows\INF folder and looked at each of the oem.inf files to find what they were. In my case they were "Print to PDF" and "XPS Document Author". I uninstalled both of these from my system. My judge is that this was the final (if non the ONLY ready) I needed to get the 20H2 update installed. Again maybe some of the previous steps did something only clearly the install failed until these 2 items were removed.
Practiced luck everyone.
I might try this because I'm reaching the terminate of my tolerance. It's such a frustrating thing.

Withal doesn't work unfortunately. I'm seeing two things that I believe might be important. firstly, even later I remove the features from window features, I'm still seeing them when I run the setupdiag.exe and I'm not certain if that is what should be happening;
<DriverPackage Inf="oem19.inf" BlockMigration="False" HasSignedBinaries="True"/>
<DriverPackage Inf="oem65.inf" BlockMigration="False" HasSignedBinaries="True"/>
<DriverPackage Inf="oem30.inf" BlockMigration="True" HasSignedBinaries="Faux"/>
<DriverPackage Inf="oem39.inf" BlockMigration="True" HasSignedBinaries="Faux"/>
<DriverPackage Inf="oem8.inf" BlockMigration="Fake" HasSignedBinaries="True"/>
And the setup results is showing me the below. I'm not certain what else I might be missing;
Error: SetupDiag reports rollback failure found.
Last Stage = Finalize
Last Operation = Remove System Restore checkpoints
Fault = 0xC1900101-0x20017

You are my hero. I ran setupdiag.exe to see if I had the same issue on my XPS15 and sure enough I did. I removed the same devices as y'all and the update worked right away subsequently a reboot.
Thank you very much!
Edit: Simply a reminder in case anyone has the aforementioned trouble I do. My XPS15 blacks the screen out every 15 seconds if intel'south battery saving refresh rate thing is on. Go disable that. The update resets that setting back to ON. Use WIN+CTRL+SHIFT+B to reload the drivers to bring the screen back so you can change that setting.

Very absurd - glad one more than person was able to get out of this mess! Congrats!

Thank you very much for your advice, they helped me solve the trouble, now I am a "happy" owner of the 21H2 version! Your assist has been invaluable.
On my own behalf, I want to add important information:
Less than 35 gigabytes of free infinite since the kickoff of the update - Non ENOUGH! I needed ~ threescore gigabytes (I took with a margin) of free space from the showtime of the update, for its successful completion.
If you take around 35GB, after download and "installation"(phase of update earlier the first reset)you will have less than 20GB of disk infinite remaining at the first reboot of the PC, which is NOT ENOUGH for a full update!
At the first reboot, yous need at least 35 gratuitous gigabytes for a complete update.
Equally a issue, out of lx free gigabytes, 41 gigabytes are left. https://imgur.com/nzQtBka
Proficient luck everyone with updates, I promise someone will find this information useful!

I have likewise been struggling for quite some fourth dimension updating my Dell XPS 7590, and finally got it to piece of work thanks to your post!
I previously used Dell Update Utility to update all my drivers, but was yet unsuccessful. Hither's what worked:
I ran setupdiag.exe. I also saw the "BlockMigration=True" in one of the XML files that pointed to .inf files for "Print to PDF" and "XPS Certificate Writer." Unfortunately, uninstalling those drivers in Device Manager did non lead to a successful Windows Update. All the same, in that same logs.cipher, I opened SetupDiagResults.log and found this:
Error: SetupDiag reports rollback failure found.
Terminal Phase = Safe Os
Final Operation = Employ Drivers
Error = 0x800700A1-0x20007
LogEntry: 2021-11-16 18:39:46, Error DISM DISM Driver Director: PID=1728 TID=1760 Failed to reflect critical driver package 'C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\st_accel.inf_amd64_683c82d758232d6a\st_accel.inf'. - CDmiDriverStore::Import(hr:0x800700a1)
st_accel.inf refers to a system driver called STMicroelectronics 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer. I tried updating from Device Manager, and information technology said I had the best driver installed. I went again to Dell'southward support site, chose to MANUALLY observe a specific driver for my XPS, and found an updated driver for STMicroelectronics Free Fall Data Protection Driver. Downloaded information technology, installed information technology, rebooted my laptop, then ran the MediaCreationTool that I had downloaded previously. I am now updated to the latest Windows x Version 21H2.

So i found the same two infs every bit well. how do you "uninstall" them? just delete them from the INF folder?
Edit: so, it appears you just uninstall them from device managing director. that sadly didnt work for me.

Well in my case the ii INF items were both in the "Plow Windows Features On or Off" menu. So I simply "unchecked" their checkboxes, clicked "OK" and so they were uninstalled (don't remember if I had to reboot afterward). But that's all I did RE: those INFs.

In the same boat here.
This is why I switched all of our piece of work and family computers from PC to MAC several years ago.
Unfortunately, I have to maintain one PC to view evidence videos stored on proprietary software that but runs on Microsoft Windows.
I literally spend more fourth dimension trying to update and maintain this ONE Windows 10 PC, than I spend to update and maintain 17 MACS.
Microsoft is but a garbage visitor, and Windows is just a garbage production.
I would throw it out in a heartbeat if I didn't have to maintain at least ONE PC to review bear witness.
I have been trying to find a way to update Windows 10 to version 20H2 for more than 6 months.
Despite tens of thousands of people posting on the net well-nigh this exact same problem, Microsoft has done exactly Null.
Beyond frustrating.
I as well take tried all the tips and tricks listed in this and other online manufactures to no avail.
If someone figures out a solution, Please have the time to mail information technology.
There are literally tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people stuck with this problem, and Microsoft seems to have zero inclination to fix it.
I experience your pain believe me. When you have the patience/energy to attempt agagin try reviewing my notes from November 01 2021 at half-dozen:xiii AM above and come across if that helps. Nix amazing there merely I, like you, tried many of the tips/tricks floating effectually just in the stop my solution was a bit of a custom/variation approach. Skillful luck.

I uninstalled Malewarebytes completely and the 20H2 update is installing!
On edit: processor: Intel I-v 8225, so tiresome.
But the install took HOURS. It took near 2 hrs in Getting Things Fix, then it started INSTALLING. at 20% installed subsequently an hour, I went to sleep.
Somehow, in the subsequent v hrs while I slept, install completed and I awoke to RESTART REQUIRED. Yay
CONFIGURING UPDATE FOR WINDOWS 10 moving slowly. Very slowly....6 min notwithstanding at 0% consummate. The restart install actually completed in 4 hrs.
Laptop seems to be in ameliorate shape. Only I got rid of all the insane hp bloatware before starting all this. Esp that horrid hp support asst! I recall I actually like my laptop now!

So, I am not a computer tech or anything but have sure learned a lot going thru every single matter ppl recommend to set up the failed update to 20H2.
After many hours and knowing I had disabled Malewarebytes with no success, I completely UNINSTALLED Malewarebytes.
And at present 20H2 update has downloaded and is installing, albeit quite slowly. Up to 12% correct now and crossing my fingers.
