Hello,

I had the same problem searching around for days.

The cause was NOT a installed / uninstalled Virtualbox BUT a portable one on the filesystem :-(

In my case i opened C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther{RANDOMSTRING}_APPRAISER_HumanReadable.xml

and search for 'T_ANY_FMC_BlockingApplication" Value="TRUE"'

which found:

<Property Name="LowerCaseLongPathUnexpanded" Value="%programfiles(x86)%\linuxlive usb creator\tools\virtualbox\portable-virtualbox\app64\virtualbox.exe" Ordinal="1" />

Removing this files let me install 20H2.

    I have the exact same log and same issue too. I cannot access any of the files found (nor delete them), because the directories apparently does not exist. Looking in the "log.txt" generated, I noticed all paths are empty. (13 issues were found)

    I am having the exact same issue... I've done the deleting of the files but as soon as you run the update again it brings them back... This just seems like we're going in circles. I did have the Virtualbox installed a while ago and it has since been uninstalled. As another measure I installed it and uninstalled it to see if that made a change... It did nothing.

    Hi

    I have already run the script, but only the following message appears. But no information about a file which I could delete. Or can someone see a solution from the log file?

    Thanks
