Feature update to Windows 10, version 2004 failed to install all the way.  I have tried twice to get this update and both times it did not complete all the way / only 86% then failed.  When I check for updates again I get:

Feature update to Windows 10, version 2004

the next version of Windows is available with new features and security improvements.  When you're ready for update, select "Download and install"

Can someone help me with this update problem?

This problem was fixed.

    The Windows 10 2004 update has been failing to install on my PC for the last few months (it tries to auto install every few weeks). I ran it manually and saw that it stops around 77% done and then does a restore of the prior OS version

    I remembered I set up a Junction for the Windows Public folder a few years ago, and I ALWAYS have this issue on major Windows updates. Basically, I have a smaller C: drive and a huge D: drive. In each user account, Windows gives you the option of putting the users data files on a different drive than the System drive. No so for the "Public" folder. If you have set up a Junction for a Windows system folder (like Public), you much remove the Junction first and then run the install:

    • To Remove Junction

    (from command prompt administrative: WIN-key "cmd" then Ctrl+Shift+Enter to run it with admin privileges).....you won't lose the files on the target of the Junction. This just gets rid of the Junction.

    cd %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users

    rmdir public

    • Reboot the PC
    • Run the Windows Updater from: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10%20
    • After the upgrade succeeds (hopefully), recreate the Junction. You need to delete the new public folder that the Windows 10 upgrade created on the System drive and create a junction in its place. For this, boot into Safe Mode as an administrator and delete the public contents and folder using Cmd as an administrator. To remove the Public folder:

    rmdir /s /q %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public

    • Then recreate the Junction back to your actual Public folder on the secondary drive, from the Cmd app:

    mklink /J  %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public D:\Users\Public

    • Then reboot

    This may not solve everyone's upgrade issue that is experiencing these upgrade symptoms posted in this thread, but there are a lot of PC's out there with dual drives on which users set up Junctions to move large system folders to a larger secondary drive.
