The setupmem.dmp references the volsnap.sys (Volume Shadow Copy driver) but not a third party driver :

BugCheck 1D5, {6900630070, ffff9f06c6092ab0, ffffd209730df040, 2bf32}

Implicit thread is now ffffd209`730df040

Probably caused by : volsnap.sys ( volsnap!VspSynchronousIo+14b )

The error may indicate an issue with a file system driver possibly third party.

Can you check if the following folders exist (to see the folders you may have to "show hidden files and folders"):

C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther

C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Rollback

If those folders exist can you zip them up and provide via OneDrive.

I would go with the WHQL.zip as the motherboard appears to have a "JMicron® JMB363 PATA and SATA controller".

    Can you make the setupmem.dmp available (provide link) via a public folder on OneDrive or similar site?

    Of course,

    I tried the update again with the suggestions from Kethtc. I had originally tried uninstalling Acronis backup (which makes use of Volume Shadow Copy) and had disconnected all external drives as suggested by martya2. All seem sensible things to try.

    I still had the failure, but immediately after it had restored 1709 I looked for the two folders of interest. I copied them locally. After that I reinstalled the AV (ESET Endpoint Security) which required a restart. The restart removed the Rollback folder and a lot of the content of the Panther folder.

    I have another (much older) machine running much the same software and that upgraded OK (but very slowly) in the presence of an attached USB drive, Acronis and ESET.

    I would share the folders with you, but OneDrive is playing up. I can't create shares either through the web interface or the local folder on either machine. The web interface says something about being unable to contact the server - please try later! I wondered whether it did not like the presence of executable code in the zip file, so I removed all the .dll files that were in it - but that does not fix it. 

    So auggy, thanks for your efforts. When I've found a way to share the files with you, I'll do so!

    OneDrive has come back to life for me so here are the folders: Removed
