  4. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config
  5. Right-click on the current COMPONENTS file and select rename. Rename it to COMPONENTS.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 Components folder on your desktop and paste it into C:\Windows\System32\config

Restart the computer.
Check Windows Update again and report the result.
If it fails, attach the zipped cbs.log to your next reply.

Update is now installing 58 updates. At number 24 it gives the message above, so I cancelled it and let it carry on.
But we were in exactly the same position on 23 September - installing up to 60 updates, and finding that particular one unavailable (I keep screenshots of the progress).
What is new this time round? Are we going round in circles?
Anyway, I'll let the update finish and report back.
 
Best to install less updates at one time, lets say 10.
Start with the oldest ones.
 
You posted a zipped components hive, not a zipped cbs.log.

  1. Download the attachment fixlist.txt and save it to your desktop.
  2. Right-click on FRST64.exe and select "Run as administrator".
  3. Press the Fix button.
  4. The tool will now process fixlist.txt.
  5. If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
  6. When finished, a log called Fixlog.txt will appear in the same directory the tool is run from.
  7. Post the logfile Fixlog.txt as attachment in your next reply.

Step 2:
Try to install KB4516065 only and report the result.

Here is the fixlog.txt. But there is no KB4516065 (a monthly rollup) in the list of 15 important updates.There is, however,
2019-03 security monthly quality rollup KB4489878. Should I go ahead and apply these updates?

PS my goal is simply to be able to upgrade Win 7 to Win 10, not to have every single Win 7 update installed if it is not necessary.

Never try to upgrade a Windows version that has problems. These problems can block the upgrade or remain in the new version.

Try to install KB4489878 only and report the result.
