[SOLVED] Windows 10: Windows Upgrade error 0x8007007e

[Bobdanger]

Hello everyone,

First of all, many thanks for your outstanding work. I have performed extensive research to solve my issues, I have tried many things and it seems to be the only place when I could get efficient support.

I am running on a Windows 10 Family version on a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro laptop (bought in 2014). Initially running on Windows 8, I upgraded to Windows 10 when it came out without any issue.
But for a few months now, I have been unable to run Windows 10 Upgrade successfully. The updating process stops after a while with the 0x8007007e error.

I have tried the following, to no avail:

• Running sfc /scannow in elevated command prompt: I get the message “Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation”
• chkdsk does not detect any bad sector or any other issue (fyi I have an SSD)
• DISM : I have run it multiple times (online, offline, offline from a windows image created with the Media Creation Tool) and I always get either the 0x8007007e or the 0x8000ffff error after a while.
• Running all these operations after booting in safe mode gives me the same results.
• Windows Update Troubleshooter tool: every time I launch it, it detects corruptions, says it has "fixed" them... but it doesn't: same error when running Windows 10 Upgrade again.

I have run SFCFIX.exe as per requested, here is the logfile content:

SFCFix version 3.0.1.0 by niemiro.
Start time: 2019-01-28 11:05:59.059
Microsoft Windows 10 Build 14393 - amd64
Not using a script file.








AutoAnalysis::
SUMMARY: No corruptions were detected.
AutoAnalysis:: directive completed successfully.








Successfully processed all directives.
SFCFix version 3.0.1.0 by niemiro has completed.
Currently storing 1 datablocks.
Finish time: 2019-01-28 11:11:01.427
----------------------EOF-----------------------

The log says no corruption were detected, yet the tool mentioned "due to the nature of your corruptions, scan times have been extended etc." before launching a DISM procedure which ends up with a 0x8000ffff error.

As per requested, here is the CBS.log file: View attachment CBS.zip

I appreciate all the help I can get on the matter, so many thanks in advance for your support!

After digging on my own, servicing gives version 10.0.14393.1883 which traces to the file :

windows10.0-kb4049065-x64_f92abbe03d011154d52cf13be7fb60e2c6feb35b.msu​

which I downloaded.

It is my understanding I need to replace the content of the folder:

%SystemRoot%\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-servicingstack_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.14393.1883_none_7ed84bd822106081​

with the content of the KB above.

Executing directly the msu gives me an error saying it does not apply to my computer. I have managed to extract the .cab files, but no idea what to do next...
