Windows 10 boot failure - Critical Process Died

[Dannon]

Windows 10 PC suddenly won't boot.
From a family member - they didn't tell me anything other that "it doesn't start" and they don't know any more.

Booted off Windows 10 PRO Nov 2019 x86 ISO
Repair this computer
Went to Advanced, Command Prompt

sfc /scannow - no errors detected
dism /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /restorehealth /source:esd:I:\sources\install.esd:6 /scratchdir=C:\scratch

Got an 0x800f0801 error

Attached is my dism.log file

any thoughts? I'd had to have to rebuild, and of course, family member has no backup. (figures)

Hi!

This seems like a case of bad hard drive.

Hard Drive (HDD) Diagnostics (Sea Tools for DOS) & SSD Test

I've verified the hard drive and no errors are reported.
Ran both chkdsk and the western digital diagnostics program from DOS

This question might get better traction on the BSOD forum, as I presume that's what you're getting when attempting to boot.

If available please post images of tests results or post share links using one drive, drop box, or google drive.

Would saving files, reinstalling windows, drivers, and applications be a viable fix?
This is similar to a reset save files result.

Or did the computer have irreplaceable applications requiring boot failure troubleshooting?
