Thank you @Docs-4663. dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth did the trick. I could finally update the system.

The error states that windows is unable to find the .NET source files that are needed for the installation.
My best suggestion would be to make a new installer and reïnstall Windows, (BTW, Good luck with 4GB of ram...)

Hello... this is a brand new device. Thank you for wishing me good luck. This is not a PC, but a Windows 10 Tablet which will be running only one light application for unattended use. So 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory disk is more than better, in fact, neither memory nor disk can be increased (I have even used a 2 GB device with this application and it was running for about 3 years now).

Windows was installed from factory so I don't have source files. I had this same problem with other device before and the solution was to restore Windows using the Factory Reset feature in Windows. After that, I was able to update system. I am looking for other solution without the need of factory reset since this is a brand new. I tried to update Windows just after the initial set up wizard.

Regards
Jaime
