Upgrading failing: Some updates files are missing or have problems... Error code: (0x80070003)

[Alexander Rojas P]

I've been having this problem since I noticed the message saying that the windows version I am running is nearing the end of service (I am running 1809) which is weird since I always run windows update.


What I have tried which runs without errors (which didn't solved the underlying issue):

1. Windows Update Troubleshooter.
2. Ran `chkdsk /f`
3. Ran `DISM /Online /RestoreHealth /Cleanup-Image /LimitAccess`
4. Reset the Windows Update Components.
5. Ran `ICACLS C:\Windows\winsxs`
6. I ran System Configuration and dissabled all none windows services and disabled all startup files and attempted all the steps with a minimal windows.

What hasn't work:

1. `sfc /scannow` always fails at 75% with a message saying that the "request operation could not be run."
2. Trying an upgrade with the Media Creation Tool always fails with: "Sorry, we're having trouble determining if your PC can run Windows 10. Please close Setup and try again."
3. System configuration does not allows me to do a safe boot or indeed modify anything boot related.

I sadly never made an image of windows when it worked, so I cannot use `/Source` option of `DISM`.


`Get-WindowsUpdateLog` from PowerShell also shows the following failures:

UPDATE 1


While trying to crosspost this in another forum I was pointed to the SetupDiag tool. Running it show me the following message:


Error: SetupDiag reports abrupt down-level failure.

Last Operation: Finalize

Error: 0x80070003 - 0x40008

I used to have a dual boot linux windows layout and my UEFI partition is not in the same drive as C:, so I assume this is causing all this problems. Upgrades seem to have started when I had this dual boot.
