Same here. Agreed, a clean install is a solid fix. Also, check your drivers are up to date, especially any for your motherboard or storage, as that error often points there. Good luck!

You could also try temporarily disabling any antivirus or third-party security software before attempting the upgrade again.

This. I had the same problem. For me, it turned out to be a driver for my old printer that wasn't compatible.

+1 Yeah, that was my issue too. A quick tip: run `verifier` in an admin command prompt to check for any other problematic drivers.

Yeah, This happened to me. I had to completely uninstall the most recent Windows 10 cumulative update before the upgrade would finally stick.
