System Update Readiness Tool (SURT)

Download and run the System Update Readiness Tool here: System Update Readiness Tool

This tool will take some time to complete - when it has finished, attach C:\Windows\CBS\CheckSUR.log with your reply.
 
ok i used the tool and im guessing you mean C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log since i could not find the file at C:\Windows\CBS\CheckSUR.log.

There's some registry corruption that will have to be repaired, I'm working on a fix and will get back to you.

Good. Let's replace the components hive.

Components Hive Replacement

  • Download the repaired hive COMPONENTS.zip
  • Right click on the downloaded file and choose Extract All. Click Browse, choose your Desktop folder, click OK, then click Extract.

  • Click your Start button and type cmd in the search box.
  • Right-click on cmd.exe that comes up in the search results and select Run as administrator. Answer Yes to the UAC prompt.
  • Copy/Paste the following lines into the command-prompt and hit enter after each.


    ren C:\Windows\System32\Config\COMPONENTS COMPONENTS.old

    copy %userprofile%\Desktop\components.hive C:\Windows\System32\Config\COMPONENTS


    If at any point you get an error message stop and post back with the message

If the 'ren' (rename) command results in 'access denied', 'file in use' or something similar, reboot your computer and try again.
 
i followed the instructions with no errors and i tested windows updates and it says install new windows update-software
 
Try running system file checker (sfc /scannow) and post c:\Windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log when it completes
 
Very good, it's looking better but there are a couple more things to fix. I'll get back to you.
 
i updated as much as i could from windows updates and now it says there are no more updates but i dont see the get windows 10 icon.
and i also had a blue screen
 
1. Download the Sysnative BSOD Dump + System File Collection App - save to Documents folder -

https://www.sysnative.com/apps/SysnativeBSODCollectionApp.exe

2. Run the app - Double-click on the downloaded EXE file
Output = new folder created in Documents + a zipped version -- SysnativeFileCollectionApp + SysnativeFileCollectionApp.zip

3. Upload SysnativeFileCollectionApp.zip

If the zip is too large to attach, upload to OneDrive, DropBox, or SendSpace (or any other service you like) and post a link here.
