Next, right-click the Start button and select Command Prompt (administrator). When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following command into it, press enter afterwards. Code: copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log "%userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt" This will create a file, cbs.txt on your Desktop. Please attach this to your next post. Note: if the file is too big to upload to your next post please upload via a service such as Filedropper or One Drive and just provide the download link.

J jj426 Active member Joined Dec 22, 2020 Posts 27 Jan 29, 2021 #26 Yeah. Should I not? I did it so I don’t have to download the file every time I attempt to upgrade
P PeterJ Moderator, Windows Update Expert, Security Analyst Staff member Joined Dec 14, 2014 Posts 12,718 Jan 29, 2021 #27 Remove the USB stick. Disable Windows Update: Go to Control Panel - Windows Update - Change settings. Select Never check for updates (not recommended). Click OK. Insert the USB stick and try the upgrade again.

J jj426 Active member Joined Dec 22, 2020 Posts 27 Jan 30, 2021 #32 Same error. Any other ideas? If not, I will just do a fresh install. Thanks much.
P PeterJ Moderator, Windows Update Expert, Security Analyst Staff member Joined Dec 14, 2014 Posts 12,718 Jan 30, 2021 #33 I 'm afraid not. Good luck with the fresh install. Backup all your important data first.
