XPS 15 9560, constantly fails update
My laptop gave a notification that I had an important update pending, which I did. When I booted my computer again I got:
"Your PC ran into an issue and needs to restart. We're just collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you. Stop code: 0xc000021a".
My computer restarted a few times and then gave me the "Choose an option screen". I went through each option and even the reset didn't work "We were unable to reset your computer".
I contacted Dell Support, and they couldn't help me and after some searching on YouTube, I tried a recommendation on a video, which was: Choose command prompt from the "choose an option" screen and enter the following:
dism /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions
I let this run, and it restored my computer to a previous restore point (which was interesting, as the system restore option had failed previously when tried).
I finally got my computer up and running again and used the Dell Support Assist to update everything, which resulted in putting me back at square one, error 0xc000021a - none of the "choose an option" options working. I repeated the "revertpendingactions" process that I did previously and now here I am. My computer is up and running again (for now), but seems to stop working when I attempt an update. Has anyone else had this issue?
Additional info: Last failed update: 0x800f0845

I've got exactly the same issue on my vostro 15-7580.
I read some where that it can be coused by Dell Encryption Management Agent. But I have not installed it and can not find it on my computer
I have no idea how to fix it.
Dell support asked me to run hardware tests (by pressing fn key and power button), I did it. Unfortunately it could not find anything wrong.

Finally, I reinstalled the system and as far as now the issue did not appear.
