Step#1 - FRST Fix
NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system
1. Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
Note: You need to run the 64-bit Version so please ensure you download that one.
2. Download the attached fixlist.txt and save it to the Desktop.
Note. It's important that both files, FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work (in this case...the desktop).
3. Run FRST64 by Right-Clicking on the file and choosing Run as administrator.
4. Press the Fix button just once and wait. 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.
5. When finished FRST64 will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post the contents of it in your reply.

Afterwards, please run the following command from Command Prompt:

Rich (BB code): 
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

And then attach the CBS log.

Hello and sorry for being late!

After last FRST Fix I was able to install at least the NET Framework, although DISM still gave various errors.

However, we discovered a virtualizer bug as root cause for VMs data corruptions, so after fixing it we decided to perform the in-place upgrade to Server 2019.

So far so good, data and software was preserved and updates are running fine now.

Many thanks for your help, I’ve learned a lot from this case.

Gabriele
