I apologise for the delay.
Sfc /scannow finished 100% and reported that no integrity violations were found. procmon pml file is still being created and i am afraid that it wont fit in wetransfer's 2gb limit. Would it be safe to try and install /restart at this point?

at last! after two restarts, i was able to finish successfully the updates.
Many thanks for your invaluable help
 
You're welcome. Glad to hear everything is up and running again, and I would definitely make regular backups from now on... (y)
