Many users reported encountering an error when trying to update their OS to Windows 10 v1903 via Windows Update.
Before the error itself, users would usually receive a message stating that “Your device is missing important security and quality fixes”.
In the end, they would receive error 0xc190012 which seems to persist regardless of the methods they used to bypass it.
I have a issue to install the update 1903. I have error 0xc190012e.
Either through Windows Update or by downloading the iso and running the setup.exe.
More so, the problem doesn’t seem to be associated with any other known issues or processes, as nothing was found even when users reported using the “Reset Windows Update System” Tool.
Additionally, even common solutions such as clearing the cache, using the System File Checker, deleting temp files, chkd or DISM component store check didn’t seem to come up with any solution or allow the update to run its course accordingly.
If you’re a gamer, maybe you should not install Windows 10 v1903 after all.
