windows update version 2004 installation errors

[Magicpandajuice]

Ive been trying to update to the newest windows release, version 2004, for a few days now. every time i try to install it, the system boots into the windows recovery environment and when i restart again it says the update cant be installed, i get error code 0XC1900101-0xC20016- the installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation

 

ive tried all the troubleshooting steps provided by microsoft and still the same error, i recently tried updating directly from the iso in windows and it still isnt working. the only other option i can think of is to just a fresh install (probably wouldnt hurt but i dont wanna have to reinstall everything)

But why? There are many unresolved issues with this update even Microsoft currently advises to not try to install this update manually on certain configurations.

I'd say they're doing you a favor and you should at least wait until it's downloaded and installed automatically.
