[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.

    You might also want to take the I drive letter off the first recovery partition..  You may be able to do that by right clicking on that partition in Disk Management.

    The Winre.wim is on parition 3 or the 500 MB Recovery partition.

    The tools are working now... ;)  I really hope that lets your upgrade complete.  If not, maybe we can find another reason..

    It shows the system does have access to the BCD store but your Recovery Tools are not set up.  Getting that done may help..

    You can try using Reagentc /disable and then Reagentc /enable to see if it comes back and shows similar (not exact) to the one below..

    To fix it, I will need a Disk Management picture with expanded so we can read the partition descriptions and use the snipping tool to take a picture.  We need to find where the Winre.wim file is which is normally in a Recovery\WindowsRE folder..

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>reagentc /info

    Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) and system reset configuration

    Information:

        Windows RE status:         Enabled

        Windows RE location:       \?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk1\partition1\Recovery\WindowsRE

        Boot Configuration Data (BCD) identifier: f92186b6-7c00-11e9-827c-409f38b82098

        Recovery image location:

        Recovery image index:      0

        Custom image location:

        Custom image index:        0

    REAGENTC.EXE: Operation Successful.

    Hello Saltgrass,

    1. Window RE

    1. BCDEdit (I don't know what I am looking for. Idk how this command works)

    1. BEService in several places.

    1. ASUS. I have ASUS router, ASUS Monitor, ASUS MoBo, and ASUS Radeon card. The only ASUS entry I found in programs is this but I think is from previous installation as it doesn't have an entry of where is currently installed

    Thanks
