[SOLVED] Win10 - refuses to update to 22H2

Code: 
C:\WINDOWS\system32>icacls C:\users
C:\users NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(F)
         BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(F)
         BUILTIN\Users:(RX)
         BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)(IO)(GR,GE)
         Everyone:(RX)
         Everyone:(OI)(CI)(IO)(GR,GE)

Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

C:\WINDOWS\system32>
 
This looks good, it seems the default account is corrupted, this one is used as a template to build the new account.

Could you please attach a zipped copy of C:\Users\Default to your next post.
 
The best way to resolve all the issues is to perform an in place upgrade at this point.

Windows 10 In Place Upgrade
This will reinstall and update the operating system and fix any corruptions, without removing any file or program. But make always a backup of all your important data!
  • Go to this Microsoft page and under the title Create Windows 10 installation media press on Download tool now.
  • Save the tool on your Desktop and double click to run it.
  • On the License terms page, if you accept the license terms, select Accept.
  • On the What do you want to do page, select Create installation media (USB....) and then select Next.
  • Choose the ISO file option. Once the download is complete, right click the ISO and select the option Mount.
  • Open the Windows File Explorer and open mounted ISO, and run the setup.exe file.
  • Follow the instructions and click on the option Change what to keep.
  • Select the option Keep personal files and apps and click next.
  • Windows Setup will now start the in-place upgrade installation to repair Windows.
 
I have tried this in the past and it failed to finish, but perhaps now enough other stuff is fixed to make this work. I'll try it again
 
Interesting datapoint to note.... In preparing for the in place upgrade, I rebooted (after creating the account DSALCH as admin) and found the following:

1. it took a LONG TIME to get to login, went through the HI process for maybe half an hour
2. When it came up I logged in as DSALCH and found a minimally populated USERS/DSALCH directory
3. Normal stuff seemed to work fine under this user
4. Went to the PANTHER folder and still could not read those 2 log files due to permission restriction
5. Looked up the "effective permissions" for those files for user DSALCH and it showed that the user should have access

So, I started the update from the downloaded package running under user DSALCH

time will tell
 
This is quite interesting, if you don't start the update yet please let me know, maybe there is a (permission) problem with the C:\$WINDOWS.~BT folder as well.
 
sorry, didnt get this in time. It's already running. Will know results by tomorrow, or maybe tonight
 
No problem, let's see what happens this time and or you are able to access the setup files if the upgrade process failed.

C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\Panther\setupact.log
C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\Panther\setuperr.log
 
it failed aga8nn, same error as before.

0x8007001f - 0x2000d
installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during MIGRATE_DATA operation
 
oh, and i can not accesd a those files from the new dsalch account either
 
Hmm, this does not look right please try to run the following tool again.

Download and run SetupDiag from Microsoft
  • Download
    60e45c659164d-SetupDiag.png
    SetupDiag to your desktop.
  • Right-click on SetupDiag.exe and select Run as administrator.
  • When completed the following files are created: "Logs.zip, SetupDiag.exe.config and SetupDiagResults.log"
  • Attach SetupDiagResults.log and Logs.zip to your next reply.
 
I went back in as the first account "dsalc" and could not access the files in windows_bt, so I tried to add permissions for that user, and the system could not find the user "dsalc" at all, only dsalch. Then I clicked "enable inheretance" and as dsalc I could access the files.

I tried to run setupdiag and it gives nothing yet, even under the original account "dsalc".

as it runs, each entry for "processing rule" shows "no match"
 
It seems the file setupact.zip is corrupted, could you please re-upload this file.
Attach also a copy of the following logfile C:\Windows\INF\setupapi.dev.log
