[SOLVED] Cannot update from 1803 to 1903

[suprteacher]

Thank you for all the help. When I do replace the drive, will I be able to run the macrium backup? Even with the errors on the ssd?

No, I would strongly advise that you restore an earlier error-free backup. Under no circumstances should a faulty backup (a backup done on a damaged/failing drive) be used.

Thank you again for your help. My problem was finally fixed by doing this. I do realize that my ssd may be failing, but that was never the problem. Somehow the 1903 update kept trying to find C:\windows\system32\migration. This is where the whole problem was, so I followed these instructions and deleted that folder. Voila..system updated. Now all is well. For anyone with this same error, please try this.

The installation failed in the SAFE-OS phase with an error during MIGRATE_DATA operation.”

SetupDiag reports fatal migration plug-in failure.
Plug-in Name = %windir%\system32\migration\SxsMigPlugin.dll
Migration Operation = IPostApply->PostApply
Plug-in Error: 0x00000002


(0x0000002 means 'file not found')

I got it working by deleting:

c:\windows\system32\migration

You might need to fiddle with owner rights and permissons. But get the whole thing with subdirs and files gone.

Thanks for sharing, I would still advise you to keep an eye out on the SSD. That's certainly not normal.
