[SOLVED] Windows 10 update errors/corruption

[Greeno]

Windows 10 1809 (Build 17763.805), neither Windows Updates nor an inplace upgrade are working.
Tried the update assistant, upgrade via USB, DISM etc., everything fails with different errors.

SFCFix fails at the stage where it wants to repair stuff via DISM.

Hello Maxstar, thanks for your help.

DISM failed at 83,1%, Path could not be found (Errors on my side are in German, sorry if it's not the most precise translation).

This is going to be a tough job, the amount of corruptions is including the pair files approx 10.000. I'll need to setup a VM with the German Language pack and the necessary updates to collect al the files. But here is the first fix with replacement files.

Thank you and sorry for the hassle, this time it failed at 83,3% with error number 2 instead of 3, "file not found".

 

[Maxstar]

Thanks, there are still a lot of files to go. In the meantime it might be good to check the HDD.

Download

Crystal DiskInfo and save it to your Desktop.

• Run the installer to install the program.
• When finished, open the installed program by double clicking on it.
  • Good - There are no problems found, the drive is working properly.
  • Caution - The drive have some problems. (which indicates a drive that you should most likely be thinking about backing up and replacing.)
  • Bad - This usually indicates a drive that’s dead or near death. (! - Back up all important data as soon as possible.)
• Resize the window so that all information is visible.
• Take a screenshot of what you see and post it in your next reply.

At least the SSD is working alright, I guess

83,1% again this time, Error 2 "file not found".

My VM is ready. Some updates are expired, therefore I'll provide the fixes in batches, here is the next one to replace the missing files.

Awesome, thank you!
Failed at 83,2% this time, "file not found".

First updates seem to work now and it wants me to restart, should I restart now or wait for the next files?

 

[Maxstar]

You can reboot the computer, but I think it will result in a rollback? If so please post a new copy of the CBS log.

 

[Greeno]

Some updates went through successfully, some failed (no rollbacks though as far as I could see, already failed at the downloading and install stage).
Edit: Windows Version is still the same, the successful ones were .Net and language stuff.

Thank you. DISM failed at 82,8%, different error this time ("Source files were not found").

The last files that are missing are related to Adobe Flash Player, but all the update packages are expired.
Please try to install KB4577586 manually and let me know the result, this update is to remove Adobe Flash Player.
