1903 update fails with Update Boot Code Error: 0x80004005

[Rufens]

I'm struggling with 1903 update (from 1809) as it always fails with Operation failed: Update Boot Code. Error: 0x80004005[gle=0x000000b7] error message, whatever I try - windows update, update assistant, ISO image on pendrive. I did sfc scannow and dism cleanups many times, no errors. I have no problem booting Windows (Dell E7400, UEFI mode).

I've checked logs and I've found this error:

So it looks like some files cannot be find: E:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\4 to be precise (Nie można odnaleźć określonego pliku = Cannot find file specified)

But when I navigate to this folder, I can find it on the dir listing, but can't "touch" in any way (like ls, dir, etc):


PS E:\efi\Microsoft\Boot> ls | grep "4 "

------ 08.08.2016 20:06 1024 4



PS E:\efi\Microsoft\Boot> ls 4

ls : Cannot find path 'E:\efi\Microsoft\Boot\4' because it does not exist.



Here's my BCD dump, seems to be fine:



PS E:\efi\Microsoft\Boot> bcdedit.exe /enum

So my question is - what can I do to fix it? What's really going on with this boot files?
