Taskbar Widgets keep closing, won't stay open

So it's been 2 days since I was able to get Win 10 (upgrade) installed over Winn7, as it kept failing using the .1288 ISO, but did work using the Windows Media Creation Tool. I think it was build 958 (or 985) that it installed, but then WU for it to the current .1288.

The issue with having my MS Account listed twice is gone/fixed, as it's now just listed once under Settings/Accounts. I was able to do the Verify link and had it send a code to the MS Authentication app on my phone.

So now I'm just getting Win 10 customized back the way I had it. Since it was an upgrade over my (cloned) Win 7 drive image, I had a bunch of programs that needed updating as well.

Once it's running Ok for a few days, I'm going to backup this drive and then try the Win 11 upgrade again to see if it works better and the Widgets issue is fixed since my MS Account info was fixed.

So after trying a few more things and still having the error when Win 10 install gets to 91% I decided to try the Windows Media Creation Tool. Using that (making an ISO and extracting it to the SSD to install, it went all the way through and was able to upgrade from Win7. I'm not at the system right now, so not sure what Build # it installed

So later will get Win 10 customized and up to date bed re trying Win 11 again.

But I did check and it only has my MS Account listed 1 time, not twice which was causing the errors.

So this is ****.

I've tried everything I've read about the problem, went into MSCONFIG and turn off all Services and Startup.

No matter what I do, the Win 10 install goea from 85% to 91%, then reboots, shows a screen Reverting, and I end up back in Win 7.

I got Win 10 to install a year ago when I had this problem and found a fix, now I can't find/remember what the fix/issue was that allowed Win 10 to install without this Migrate Data error.

Here is what the last error log files shows:

Ok, so a year ago when I went to upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10, I had this problem (shown below). I was able to get it to fix (can't remember what the problem was) and got Win 7 to upgrade to Win 10.

But with installing/upgrading build 19043.1288 on Win 7 I'm having the same problem from last year. Now have to try to figure out what the issue was and how I fixed it back then.
