I am about to give up on this machine.
The things I have tried in order.
- sfc /scannow - "Windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation."
- dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth - "No component store corruption detected. The operation completed successfully."
- dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth - "Error 605. The specified buffer contains ill-formed data."
- dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth - "Error 605. The specified buffer contains ill-formed data."
- Found an online copy of Windows 10 Pro 32-bit iso (19042.867) which is the same version as the machine.
- dism /Online Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:[path to install.wim]:1 /limitaccess - "Error 605. The specified buffer contains ill-formed data."
- dism /Online Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:[path to install.esd]:1 /limitaccess - "Error 605. The specified buffer contains ill-formed data." (converted install.wim to install.esd)
- Tried updating Windows 10, installed, goes into "reverting changes" while restarting.
- Tried updating to 21H1, Windows 10 Update Assistant results in error code 0x80004005.
- Tried How to:Reset Windows update components in Windows - didn't work.
- Tried upgrading to 21H1 from Setup.exe in iso file, results in "The installation failed in the SAFE-OS phase with an error during MIGRATE_DATA operation."
Then found SFC Fix from Sysnative, tried running it but it found no corruptions.
Log from SFCFix:
