running
 
Hmm, let's try to install the 22H2 Enablement Package with DISM and see what happens.

Follow these instructions to install an update with DISM.
  • Open the Start menu of Windows and type CMD.
  • When you see Command Prompt on the list, select the option Run as administrator.
  • Copy and paste the following command into it, and press enter. (Leave the CMD window open!)
Code: 
MD C:\WUTemp
  • Now, download the following update (KB5015684) to: C:\WUTemp - Or copy this file from the download directory to C:\WUTemp. (Important!)
    Downloadlink: KB5015684
  • Copy and paste the following commands one at a time into the command prompt and press enter after each.
Code: 
CD C:\WUTemp
EXPAND.exe windows10.0-kb5015684-x64_523c039b86ca98f2d818c4e6706e2cc94b634c4a.msu -f:* C:\WUTemp
DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\WUtemp\Windows10.0-KB5015684-x64_PSFX.cab
  • Let me know if it says it was successful or not.
  • When you see the message "Do you want to restart the computer now? (Y/N)" press Y to restart the system.
 
I had an unexpected break, so I did the above. Said it was successful. Rebooting now
 
Great, then I would suggest the following steps.

Remove all the temporary installation files and rename the migration folder, then attempt to update with the Media Creation Tool.
  1. Open the start menu and type cleanmgr to start Disk Cleanup.
  2. Click Clean up system files
  3. Select Temporary files and Temporary Windows installation files only.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Be sure the folder C:\$WINDOWS.~BT is removed from the systemdrive.
  6. Then rename the folder C:\Windows\System32\migration to migration.old
 
i did all the above, any then update by creation tool. it ran ok up to where it was 100% done and ready to reboot, and tgen just stopped with a window that simply said "installation failed". it never rebooted.

Hi,

Please check if this folder is recreated C:\WINDOWS\system32\migration
 
Maybe it is not recreated due the permission issues, so please rename migration.old to migration.

Another option we could try is to update all the DELL drivers first for this system and or the BIOS if there is a newer version available.

I wondered about the dell drivers. There are no updates for several years as this is a long discontinued machine. Would it be perhaps better to remove any dell specific ones and use the stock windows drivers? I'm not sure how to do this though, or how many there may be. This was originally windows 8
 
I found several threads with the same problem on Dell systems, please provide a new driver list using DISM.
Code: 
DISM /online /get-drivers /format:table > "%userprofile%\desktop\Drivers.txt"
 
I'm fine removing any dell drivers that are not critical, there has not been any update to them in years, and to be honest, I'm not certain they are all windows 10 drivers. As I said, this is a very old machine. I bought it used from a school district about 2016
 
Hi,

Maybe we're on the wrong track, I just found some odd info line in the logs. Let's check the following directory first.

Open an elevated command prompt and run the following command. Attach Dirlist.txt to your next post.
Code: 
dir /s /a %systemroot%\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-servicingstack_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.19041.1_none_bf506ecc66a800df > "%userprofile%\Desktop\Dirlist.txt"
 
Maybe there is a problem with the servicing stack, please perform the following to gather more information form the system.

Download the

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop:

Download the 64 bit version: - Farbar Recovery Scan Tool Link

  • Download the attachment fixlist.txt and save it to your desktop.
  • Right-click on FRST.exe and select "Run as administrator".
  • Press the Fix button.
  • If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally.
  • When finished, a log called Fixlog.txt will appear in the same directory the tool is run from.
  • Post the logfile Fixlog.txt as attachment in your next reply.
