Not sure what you mean by 'The farbar' one?
I've tried the update with only Microsoft Defender present. Still didnt work.
My update process seems to go right through to 100%, restarts, then happily tells me it couldn't upgrade the PC.
I've looked in the setuperr, setupact , and winsetupmon log files.
There are many things reported in there that seems to be listed as errors of one sort or another, but they seem to carry on, and assume some defaults or other.
The setuperr log file seems to have hundreds of repeated message like these:
2024-12-19 11:04:19, Error CONX Windows::Compat::Appraiser::WmiQueryAntiMalware::ComInitializedWmiQuery (159): WMI Connect failed: [0x80070422].[gle=0x80070422]

Then later on :

Then hundreds of the errors:

2024-12-19 11:18:10, Error SP Error removing SR checkpoint 146. Error: 0x80042302
Finally finishing with

Becasue I don't understand whether these are ignorable errors or ont, I cant make sense of the update.
The setupact.log file i v big - over 65Mb.
Again no clear indication of whether the messages are just tidying up after the update fails or contains critical messages as to what the failure is.
And users shouldn't haver to be doing this anyway.
You say the isi droivers shouldn't be used -
Whats the meaing of that? is it published anywhere?
I've used the Update Assistant method, and the iso file update , neither works.
The only thing I havent tried yet is a fresh install of windows, blowing away everything. Too much hassle if it still doesn't work and I have to reinstall everything
