Step 1: SOFTWARE Hive Replacement with RegBak 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.
Close all open programs and save all your work. You will need to reboot the machine during this process.
Download the SOFTWARE.ZIP from the private message I sent you.
Right-click on SOFTWARE.ZIP and select Extract All.... Ensure the "Show extracted files when complete" checkbox is checked and click the Extract button.
The software hive will be extracted. You will see the file named SOFTWARE (no extension)
Copy the SOFTWARE hive to where you previously saved a backup. It should be (C:\Windows\RegBak\PC-NAME\DATE\Windows\System32\Config)
Overwrite the one that is currently there when prompted.
Open RegBak by click Start and selecting Registry Backup and Restore. Highlight the backup in the list (it should be the one date today), and press Restore. Click Start. RegBak will reboot your computer to complete the restore process.
Let me know if the hive was replaced or if there were any errors.
Step 2:
Start the System Update Readiness Tool (SURT) again.
On completion, attach the logfile C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log in your next reply.

It starts with a forced CHKDSK on the firs reboot
Then i've got BSOD driver irql_not_less_or_equal very often
