NEW In place upgrade 1909 to 2004

[Kasper Laursen]

Hey,

I've started looking into making in place upgrade's using task sequences, but i've run into some issues.

I'm testing with both danish language OS and english languages OS.

To try and sum up how it looks like:
I have a test machine on which i install either danish or english version of win 10 1909, if i run my task sequence that match the OS it upgrades just fine for both.
On another machine, that also runs 1909 the installation of the update gets stuck on 44% everytime and i've since then found another machine with the same issue, the "fun" part is that the first machine that had the error, i then chose to just run the exe manually instead of through the task sequence in the hope of some error message showing up, but instead it just installed fine and is now running the 2004 version.

So from what i can gather it must obviously be a problem with the specific machines, but i've tried looking in smsts.log and the only lines i can find about it is:

but looking at this i can't really figure what should be causing this, so i now hope someone in here can maybe help figure either from this what the cause is, or maybe have some other idea of where to look for error messages?

Some extra info:
The models are all HP Elitebook 840 G5's
All are running 1909 education and are trying to be updated to 2004 education
I've already tried running sfc /scannow etc to try and look for corrupt files without any luck though
I've searched through the event viewer aswell, but not really been able to find anything regarding this

Hi Kasper,

if you just want to upgrade this machines, you can manage upgrades in Windows 10 Servicing (\Software Library\Overview\Windows 10 Servicing\All Windows 10 Updates) . The other option is to create an application.

I'd very much like to keep it in a task sequence, as i'll also be updating software installed on machine etc later down the line in the same task sequence, appreciate the idea, though i'm only really looking for a solution for the task sequence issue.
