We have a number of machines running Windows 10, 64 bit Professional. What I do is download the Windows Update Assistant which tells you that you are running 1909 and offers to update to 2004. It downloads, verifies, installs, restarts, tells you about the updates and WinVer shows build 2004. Splendid!
But there is one machine, which is on a domain, and says it is running Windows 10 Enterprise build 1909. I performed the above procedure, and it seems to go fine (downloads, installs, restarts), no errors or warnings, but finally when the machine restarts, it does not tell you anything different and WinVer still shows as running 1909. As if you never ran the update tool.
I have tried using a non domain account, and also deleted this registry key HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate, but still no explanation or error message.
Is there any sort of log file that one can examine for the 2004 update to see why it didnt actually update?
Is this caused by it being Windows 10 Enterprise? If so, can I switch to Professional somehow (without reinstalling), or download an image to a USB key and boot and update from that? (I know that updating Windows 7 Enterprise to Windows 10 required this, and then you had to remove other images from the ISO, painful). Or is there a "force the update" option? I am pretty sure the previous windows update tool that updated to 1909 ran fine and update the enterprise machine without issue too, so hopefully this wont be an issue now. Maybe you can only update really old Enterprise Windows 10 builds when the old build is no longer supported?
(Our IT cannot push the update though via sort of domain tool.)
