I have a Dell XPS 7100 with AMD hex core 1075T and 8GB ram. 500GB SSD & 1TB secondary drive.
I've been running W10 1803 quite happily but the nags from Microsoft are becoming irritating as 1803 nears end of support. I've tried installing 1903 at least a dozen times. I've followed every troubleshooting procedure I can find; I've pulled every peripheral including video card and sound card leaving just the mobo and SSD. Still get the same error "Windows could not configure one or more system components. To install Windows, restart the computer then restart the installation". I've updated all my drivers and BIOS.
I have run an install in place. I have not run a clean install because losing my (old) applications would be a disaster. Some of them (like Picasa) even if I could reinstall would lose much valuable information.
I know this PC is not "certified" for W10 so I'd be quite happy to stay with 1803. Is there a way to tell Microsoft to stop bugging me about the update? A total wipeout because of a future security breach would be no worse than having to do a clean install.
If that's not possible I'd sure like to know what's the problem. I created a Windows Update log and it's in my dropbox here:

I would sure appreciate any help.
Thanks, Joe
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Getting your system to upgrade was really good work. Not many folks would stay with such a problem and find a resolution.
I suppose you are now the resident expert on this situation. Hopefully, you will be able to mark the thread solved if you do get 1903 to work so other folks will find it.

Did you restart after the scans and if you run sfc /scannow again is it error free.
If so then try the update again.
Have you considered the update to 1809 I suggested.?
There are 3 maybe 4 threads regarding the IIS situation. You may want to give it some time to see if those work out.
The DISM's didn't report any errors but sfc /scannow did and it said it fixed them.
Should I reattempt the update now?
Thanks, Joe
Did you run complete scan in order.
Method 1:
Run DISM tool and check the issue. Please follow these steps:
a. Press Windows + X keys and click command prompt (admin). Or PowerShell (Admin).
b. Type the following command in command prompt and press Enter.
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
after the scan is complete type the following and press Enter
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
then use method 2.
Method 2:
System file checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.
Run system file checker (SFC) and see if it helps. Please follow these steps:
a. Press Windows + X keys and click command prompt (admin). Or PowerShell (Admin).
b. Type the following command in command prompt and press Enter.
sfc /scannow
After completing the scans restart using Start > Power > Restart.
