    First thanks toTgatlin2000's suggestions , but didnt work for me , as no restore points were found . As I was SICK and tired of reading and trying things , I installed windows a FIFTH time due to this bug . Now I collected evidence that restore points were created 

    So again a full installation, this time i followed Costa’s suggestion to run a offline update via media creation tool, created USB stick etc, run setup thorugh as recommended . And now the SAME thing again, including that again reatore points can be found . I am so mad. Does Microsoft suggest that i should keep my Windows update deactivated and catch every virus utilizing their flaws ? Has Windows 10 become XP?  PROVIDE A PROPER SOLUTION !!!

    Here is the fix for "Windows could not complete the installation:

    So I managed to get it started up. I turned the computer off and on 3 times to start advanced recovery. Choose advance options.  I was about to restore windows (reinstall windows and removing all apps and programs by keep personal files). Select reinstall and keep personal files. And then on the next screeen hit cancel.  So I hit cancel at the next prompt. I then selected start windows and it continued installation as normal without the error.

    Any advice if windows is telling me that there are no restore points found? WTH? After my third fresh installation due to this freaking bug I am 100% solid I created restore points. As restore point is missing, seems advice above doesnt work?
