[SOLVED] Updating Win 10 14393.1439 fails repeatedly

[seeotter]

Updating Win 10 14393.1439 fails repeatedly.

The last update that worked was in June 2017.

Have tried every solution under the sun, with no luck for almost 18 months.

Update fails on KB4033631 and KB4049411, according to Update History. Yet, Update Status says: "Your device is up to date. Last checked: ‎11/‎10/‎2018, ‏‎7:52 PM."

sfc /scannow does not work and returns: "Windows resource protection cannot start the repair service."

Computer is a Toshiba Kirabook laptop, model PSU8SU

Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "10.0.14393.206"

The experts on this forum have solved issues with very similar characteristics. I would be grateful for help with mine.

My error. Sorry. The correct current Windows version is:

Windows 10 Pro Version 1607 14393.1358 (X64) (2016-09-15 22:36:13)

REPLY: I have uploaded the cbs folder and the sfcfix.txt file.

sfc /scannow returns: "Windows resource protection cannot start the repair service."

Please let me know if I have not complied with all of your requests. Your willingness to help is greatly appreciated.

As requested, ran sfc /scannow and it still returns "Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service".

Then copied cbs.txt to desktop. Attempted to attach file for uploading, but received message that file is too big to upload (about 11mb). Please advise.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Zip it up and try again. If still too big, please use a file sharing service of your choice.

OK. Zip file attached.

Step#1 - Capture Process Monitor Trace
1. Download and run Process Monitor. Leave this running while you perform the next steps.
2. Try installing the update just like you have in the past.
3. Stop Process Monitor as soon as it fails. You can simply do this by clicking the magnifying glass on the toolbar as shown below.

4. Select the File menu...Save... and save the file to your desktop. This is likely the default location. The name (unless changed) will be LogFile.PML. This is fine.
5. Zip up and attach the LogFile.PML file as well as your CBS.log

Please accept my apology for taking so long to get back to you. It is not for lack of appreciation for your help. You are my last hope.

The reason for the delay was severe technical problems in executing your instructions. Procmon.exe consumed enormous amounts of memory. Installed hardware memory is 8GB. With procmon.exe and the update exe processing, "out of memory" crashes occurred before reaching the installation failure, thereby rendering the capture of the procmon logfile impossible.

I had to increase virtual memory several times. "Success" (win update failure before running out of memory, thereby allowing for capture of the procmon logfile) achieved with virtual memory set to minimum and maximum (fixed size) of 32,768.

Thanks for your patience and willingness to help. You provide a great service for very tough problems.

Also, winupdate attempted with latest media creation tool: MediaCreationTool1809.exe

During which process did you run ProcMon?

Re: Updating Win 10 14393.1358 fails repeatedly (title corrected)

During which process did you run ProcMon?

I followed your instructions:

1. I booted the laptop.
2. I started procmon.exe
3. procmon log began running
4. I executed MediaCreationTool1809.exe and followed the prompts.
5. update downloaded
6. update verified
7. update installation began
8. update installation failed
9. I stopped procmon, saved the procmon log, and sent it to you, along with the cbs log.

I hope that answers your question. If not, please clarify.

Thanks.

I wanted you to do it during an update, not an upgrade. You said that some updates were failing. Try installing some of them. Do not attempt the upgrade for now.

Now I understand. Two automatic updates continually fail, as documented in my first post. I'll get back to you.

OK. activated "normal" update process, allowing Windows to search for updates and select the next ones in line to be updated. The two updates that have failed repeatedly began to be downloaded. I executed procmon.exe as soon as the download process started and stopped it when the update error was returned and the update process terminated.

CBS log attached and procmon log dropboxed.
