[Case Closed; No Solution] Windows 10 keeps failing update to 1903

Hello,

I'm currently running 1803 and every single time I am trying to upgrade to 1903 I got a BSOD with a PFN List Corrupt.

  1. I have tried several method: let Windows Update download and install; Creating a Win10 installation Media in USB
  2. I have more than 43GB of free space.
  3. I've run File System checker, CheckDisk, and any other tool / utility

The other day I change MSConfig and select selective startup to disable other services/programs to load and after rebooting my PC couldn't even find Windows booting to a Boot Manager where only Windows 7 was an option (??????) (My original OS was Win7 but I upgrade to Win10 through Microsoft Upgrade Program) but no trail of Win7 neither. I used a third-party boot utility that fix the boot and I'm again in Win10 that keeps reminding me that I have an old version, that I would not get more updates and I have to upgrade... but the damn update keeps failing after download, reboot, install and after the 2 or 3 reboot in the installation process I got the ERROR.

I need like 2 restarts to see see the message saying is putting all back to previous state and then boot again and still ion ver 1803.

Please advice. I have tried all those canned solutions people post on forums with no difference.

Thanks.

    I am still seeing problems with your Recovery Tools image file.  Did you ever get the reagentc /info command to show it was enabled?  Can you run a bcdedit command and see if it gives you a listing?

    These are the error messages I am concerned about.  The log shows it recreated the Reagent.xml file but it may not stick during reboots.

    Error                        [SetupHost.Exe] BcdOpenObject(WinRE) failed: 0xc0000034

    Info                         [SetupHost.Exe] winreGetWinReGuid returning 0X2

    Info                         [SetupHost.Exe] ReAgentConfig::ReadBcdAndUpdateEnhancedConfigInfo WinRE disabled, WinRE Guid could not be determined  (0x2)

    The is one more error which was not there before.  The file may be an IIS migration utility..  I don't think this is stopping the upgrade, but again, I can't be sure.

    If Battleye could be involved, and I don't know it is,

    (BEService)- Service Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\BattlEye\BEService.exe

    You are still running the ASUS utilities..  If you want to keep them, at least make sure they are up to date.

    Hi Saltgrass,

    I tried renaming the inetsrv folder just in case to try something different but the installation keeps failing. I collected a new set of logs for you as you requested (on a different thread this morning)00

    The setup.exe should have opened a window which asked how you wanted to install.  If you run the setup from the Windows desktop, you picked the correct one, it should have finished.  I just did the procedure a couple of weeks ago on one of my systems.  If you want to look the procedure up to confirm, maybe look for in-place upgrade or repair install.

    All I can suggest now is your install is corrupt enough it is having serious problems and a clean install may be your only option.    Maybe you could get a new drive and install to that to see what happens.  At least you would still have the current install if you wanted to go back

    Well. I don't know what the hell is going on. I run the setup.exe. The purple background opened and selected Install Win 10 Pro and Keep files and apps. Installation when all the way to 100%, PC restarted. then Applying updates ~47% and then BSOD with a Memory_Management error. PC needs to restart. I restarted and PC undo all the changes. Back to square one.
