bcdedit /export fails with "The system cannot find the file specified."

2

On Windows 10.0.15063 Build 15063 when I run bcdedit /export testing.bcd I get:-

E:\>bcdedit /export testing.bcd
The store export operation has failed.
The system cannot find the file specified.

However, I can successfully run bcdedit or bcdedit /enum or bcdedit /v to get a list of entries in the boot record.

E:\>bcdedit /v

I'm running these commands in an elevated dos prompt. I've tried running the export from several locations with the same result. Does this indicate that there are issues with the Boot Configuration Data?

I'm attempting to troubleshoot another issue with 0x80004005 Errors stopping Windows Creator updates on Windows 10. I'm trying to determine if perhaps the updates are failing due to an issue with the boot configuration and whether it would be worth attempting to recreate the boot configuration for the system.
