Apolgies for the delayed response,but here are two files I believe you need to help resolve the issue.

Hi,

Please attempt to update again, if it fails attach a new copy of the CBS logs.

Here are the new CBS logs.

Hi,

Upload your DRIVERS Hive

• Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config and locate the DRIVERS file.
• Please copy this file to your desktop.
• Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again.
• Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To > Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named DRIVERS.ZIP on your desktop.
• If the file is too large to upload here, upload the file to www.wetransfer.com and post the link in your next reply.

 

[busterbaxter756]

Here is the zip file for the drivers hive.

Hi,

Replace Drivers Hive Manually

Warning: this fix is specific to the user in this thread. No one else should follow these instructions as it may cause more harm than good. If you are after assistance, please start a thread of your own.

1. Download DRIVERS.ZIP and save to your desktop.
2. Right-click on it and select Extract all.... Make sure the "Show extracted files when complete" is checked and click Extract.
3. Now we have the DRIVERS file that we will be using to replace your current one.
4. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config
5. Right-click on the current DRIVERS file and select rename. Rename it to DRIVERS.bad.
   Note: If you get an error that the file is in use, reboot your computer and then try again.
6. Take the file from the Drivers folder on your desktop and paste it into C:\Windows\System32\config

Afterwards reboot the System and attempt to update. If it fails attach the latest CBS logs and the following logfile.

Upload the setupapi.dev.log file

• Open Windows Explorer and browse to the C:\Windows\INF folder.
• Right-click on the file setupapi.dev.log and choose Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
• Now the message will appear, "Windows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder here. Do you want it to be placed on the desktop instead?"
• Click on the Yes button here.

• Attach the file setupapi.dev.zip in your next reply.

All the updates ran smoothly and I am now up to date with all Windows Updates. I'll send a picture below for you to see but there is only one issue and that is when I start to boot my computer I see a screen Windows Boot Manager and I pick an option to boot and then it works fine after that.But I was just wondering if there is a way for the computer to boot immediately rather than going through that screen.

Hi,

Glad to hear the updates installed without any issues. For the boot menu, open the start menu and type msconfig, open the boot tab and post a screenshot of this window.

Here is the screenshot of System Configuration.

Hi,

You can set the timeout to 0 seconds, that's the safest option without deleting the other entry which looks like a remnant of an old installation?

Sorry about the delayed response, I ended up fixing my boot issue by finding a way online on how to fix it.Thank you so much for all of your help in fixing my computer.
