Sorry for the delay.

Try this:

2. Download the file below, SFCFix.zip, and save this to your Desktop. Ensure that this file is named SFCFix.zip - do not rename it.
3. Save any open documents and close all open windows.
4. On your Desktop, you should see two files: SFCFix.exe and SFCFix.zip.
5. Drag the file SFCFix.zip onto the file SFCFix.exe and release it.

Once SFCFix has completed, run the System Update Readiness Tool and attach C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log with your reply.
