If you are unable to get the next or latest Feature Update downloaded and installed on your computer via Windows Update, you have the following options.
Your version of Windows 10 will reach end of service soon
Before you begin, first use the built-in Disk Cleanup Tool, Storage Sense, or some free junk file cleaner to create free space on the System (C) Drive on your computer. You may also want to delete the contents of the SoftwareDistribution and the Catroot2 folder.
Windows 10 stuck on unsupported version
Having done this, follow these suggestions:
1] Run Setupdiag Tool from Microsoft
Download and run Setupdiag. SetupDiag is a standalone diagnostic tool that can be used to obtain details about why a Windows 10 upgrade was unsuccessful. It works by examining Windows Setup log files to determine the root cause of a failure to update or upgrade the computer. Once the scan is completed, check the generated log files. The SetupDiagResults.log will be geretaed and saved in the same folder where you downloaded Setupdiag. Open SetupDiagResults.log using Notepad. You may need to take a look at these folders:
\Windows\Panther$Windows.~bt\sources\panther$Windows.~bt\Sources\Rollback\Windows\Panther\NewOS
If there are any issues or conditions that are blocking the upgrade, they will be listed here.
2] Edit TargetReleaseVersionInfo Registry key
Open Registry Editor by typing Regedit in the Run prompt (Win + R), and then press the Enter key Navigate to: Locate two DWORD files and set the value as below. If they do not exist, create them as follows:
TargetReleaseVersionTargetReleaseVersionInfo
The value should be the exact number as in the semi-annual channel list in the link above.
Set the value of TargetReleaseVersion to 1If you are stuck on, say, Windows 10 1909 and want to upgrade to Windows 10 20H2 now, you need to set the value for TargetReleaseVersionInfo to 20H2
Followed by this, you will have to restart the computer. Once the reboot is complete, log in and go to the Windows Update, and check for the version of the update available to download. Once installed, it will remain on this version. Using this registry key, you can also stop Windows 10 from upgrading to next version and Set the target Feature Update version.
3] Windows 10 Update Assistant
Another option you have is to upgrade your Windows 10 version to the next one using Windows 10 Update Assistant. Related read: Windows Upgrade Errors 0xC190020c, 0xC190020d, 0xC190020e, 0xC190020f.
