Hi, I am trying to install the Creators Update on my computer, but it fails and has to recover every time I try. What system information should I post to help troubleshoot why the update continues to fail?

Thanks!

    I see no RAM defect in there. The whole thing (you didn't post all of it) looks fairly identical to mine. It's OK to have different GUIDs & partition/volume numbers.

    The parameter is incorrect.

    Scroll up the page to where I said:  BCDEdit  -enum  all

    And read the rest of what I posted up there, especially to backup the BCD.

    [the parameter is incorrect]

    I get

    PS>bcdedit --% /enum {badmemory}

    RAM Defects

    identifier              {badmemory}

    badmemoryaccess         Yes

    badmemorylist           0x199105

    So maybe you need to have badmemoryaccess set too?

    Here's a way (apparently) to find out if you are using that value anywhere

    PS>bcdedit --% /enum INHERIT

    Strangely that does not show badmemorylist being inherited.
