[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 tried downloading and installing using the .iso and disconnecting the internet after install started. It reached around 65% and then boot again to a BSOD "PFN List Corrupted" after rebooting 2 or 3 times started to "undoing changes" and got:

    0xC1900101 - 0x40017

    The installation failed in the SECOND_BOOT phase with an error during BOOT operation.

    I'm adding the setupapi.dev.log I see a lot of error related to amdxxx.dlls.

    In addition, my BIOS is UEFI (graphical with mouse support. but when looking at system information it says BIOS mode: Legacy... I'm confused.

    Maybe Sumit will have some comments and I will check your log tomorrow.  

    Your system is installed as Legacy.. The install will be in the configuration based on the way you boot the install media.

    The install needs to know it is not online so it doesn't fail because it can't get some online access, so if you are changing the situation after the install starts, it may not be best.

    There is a possibility that when multiple upgrade attempts have failed, there could be certain types of system corruption.  You might stand down for a week or so.  If the new build is released soon, will you be moving to that build?

    The entire problem lies here, I think.

    Sumit,

    Interesting, that path\file doesn't exist in my system.

    A question and a comment.

    If you run reagentc /info in an administrative command prompt, could you show us the listing?  It looks like the install can extract a replacement Winre.wim file and continue but your recovery options may not be available in your normal install.

    There have been comments related to antiCheat software, namely BattlEye.  If you were to have something like that, it might make a difference..  I do not know the current status of this situation.
