[SOLVED] Windows 10 - can't feature update

[fasteddie203]

Hi all,

I've been having Windows update issues and traced one problem down to a known issue with a Macrium Reflect install. I eventually got my system to update but it I can't seem to complete the feature updates and get error 0x80070003 at the end of the install. No viruses / malware identified either.

Running Windows 10 1803 17134.1246
Hard drive surface scan and memory tests show the hardware is good; no disk corruption from chkdsk either.


SFC reports corruption but is unable to fix and DISM hasn't worked either. Created a new admin profile; no change.

I followed the post steps.

Ran
1) sfc /scannow - Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. (CBS.log attached)
2) Ran SFCFix - No corruptions have been detected on this computer.
3) Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth - The operation completed successfully.


I've attached my CBS log. Thanks for any help!

Hi!

Step#1 - FRST Scan

1. Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
Note: You need to run the 64-bit Version so please ensure you download that one.
2. Right-click FRST64.exe and click Run as Administrator to run it as administrator. When the tool opens, click Yes to disclaimer.
3. Please ensure you place a check mark in the Addition.txt check box at the bottom of the form before running (if not already checked).
4. Press Scan button.
5. It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from (which should now be the desktop)
6. Please attach the log back here.
7. Another log (Addition.txt - also located in the same directory as FRST64.exe) will be generated Please also attach that along with the FRST.txt in your reply.

Just ran the scan, thanks. Attached are the two files.

Please try creating a new local admin user account and retry the upgrade after logging in.

If that doesn't work, export the WIMMount key for me.

Got it working. Thanks for your help. Mentioning the WIMMount key got me to double check it again. It was damaged by a Macrium Reflect install (known issue) but I manually pointed the driver to %windir%/system32 when in fact it's supposed to point to /system32 with no prefix.

Thanks again! This build has survived from Windows 7 -> 8 -> 10 with multiple mobo and drive swaps along the way. Almost 10 years without a Windows reinstall :)
