Windows Update Error 0xC190020E typically occurs during feature upgrades on Windows 10, indicating that the system lacks sufficient memory or storage to complete the update installation. You may also see messages about not having enough space or system resources.


To resolve this issue, first ensure you have at least 20 GB of free disk space on your primary drive. If your system drive is low, use Disk Cleanup (via cleanmgr) to remove temporary files, system cache, old update packages, and previous Windows installations.


Next, check your RAM. Although rare, this error can appear when your system is under heavy memory pressure. Close unnecessary applications and background processes before starting the update. If possible, temporarily increase virtual memory by navigating to Settings → System → About → Advanced system settings → Performance → Advanced → Virtual memory, and set it to at least 1.5× your physical RAM.


If the problem persists, reset Windows Update components manually. Open Command Prompt as administrator and run:




pgsql






net stop wuauserv net stop bits ren C:WindowsSoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old ren C:WindowsSystem32catroot2 catroot2.old net start wuauserv net start bits


These steps clear corrupted update cache and restart essential services. After that, run the following to repair system files and images:




bash






sfc /scannow DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth


Restart your computer and retry the update. If the upgrade still fails, use the Media Creation Tool to perform the feature update offline, which can circumvent potential storage or memory issues during the in-place upgrade.
